Biography

edit

Born Heather Graham on March 15, 1953, she grew up in Miami-Dade County, Florida. She married Dennis Pozzessere shortly after her high school graduation. After high school, she went on and earned a degree in theater arts from the University of South Florida. She spent several years after that working in dinner theater, singing backup vocals, and bartending.[2] After the birth of her third child, Pozzessere decided she could not afford to go to work anymore.[3] She chose to stay at home, and, to fill her time, began to write horror stories and romances.[2] After two years,[3] in 1982, she sold her first novel, When Next We Love.[2]

She has written more than 100 novels and novellas. Her books have been published in over 20 languages.[citation needed]

Romance Writers of America presented her with the 2003 Lifetime Achievement Award.[2] She is a member of Mystery Writers of America, International Thriller Writers, and the Horror Writers Association (of which she is a former Vice President), and has received the Thriller Writer's Silver Bullet for charitable enterprises.[citation needed]

Pozzessere is a founder of the Florida chapter of the Romance Writers of America, and since 1999 has hosted the annual Romantic Times Vampire Ball for charity.[2] In 2006, she hosted the first Writers for New Orleans on Labor Day, with workshops and a dinner theater event to benefit the city and the libraries. Labor Day of 2007 made it an annual event. She is the founder of the Slushpile players and Slushpile band. [citation needed]

In November 2016, it was announced that Pozzessere would co-author Chad Michael Murray in writing his second novel, titled American Drifter, released in November 2017.[4]
