Multi-award winning author Heather Haven writes humorous and noir mysteries, short stories, and plays. San Francisco Book Review calls her modern-day Silicon Valley based Alvarez Family Mysteries "strong work in the genre of the mystery/thriller." Dan Poyntner's Global Ebook Awards says The Persephone Cole Vintage Mystery Series set in Manhattan circa 1942 is "the perfect mystery." As daughter of real-life Ringling Brothers Circus folk, her proudest achievement was winning the 2014 Silver IPPY for Best Mystery/thriller for Death of a Clown. Heather brings the daily existence of the Big Top to life embellished, of course, by her own murderous imagination. c
