HeatherLydiaPeck

Heather Peck is author of the multi-award-winning Greg Geldard series of murder mysteries, set in rural North Yorkshire and Norfolk. She has also written books for children, mainly based on the adventures of her two dogs and her farming life.

Writing was always her first love, but for a long time it took a back seat to a busy career in animal welfare and farming. She has been both farmer and agricultural policy adviser; has bred sheep and alpacas, represented the UK in international negotiations and specialised in emergency response from Chernobyl to bird flu. Later she chaired an NHS Trust, worked on animal welfare, sailed a boat on the Norfolk Broads, volunteered in Citizens Advice and the Witness Service and vaccinated humans against Covid.

Now she writes from her home in Norfolk between the Broads and the sea, where she lives with her partner Gary and a menagerie currently comprising two dogs, two cats, two hens and a rabbit.
