Savage (Heather) started reading romance at an age that made her father cringe as she tried to hide the cover behind her hands. She technically finished writing her first book in Junior High, where it mysteriously disappeared in a reformatting incident. Due to the encouragement of her English teachers at her small town school in La Verne, California, she never lost her love for the art. Now a woman who swears by the power of coffee, Chinese food, and wine (not necessarily in that order), she decided it was time to create stories from the characters in her head.<\/p>\n<p>When Heather isn\u2019t writing, outlining, or pinning pictures of hot \u2018character inspirations\u2019 on Pinterest&#x2122;, she is spending time with her three beautiful children and handsome husband.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/socialmedia.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25370 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/socialmedia.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/socialmedia.jpg?resize=300%2C100 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/socialmedia.jpg?resize=768%2C256 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/socialmedia.jpg?w=900 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/H-R-Savage\/e\/B01G4NCJYQ\/ref=dp_byline_cont_pop_ebooks_1\">Amazon Page<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AuthorHRSavage\">Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was raised in a world full of more death than life, surrounded by the blood-curdling violence and nauseating stench of zombies.
