Author H.R. Burkett

Hi, I'm Heather...
My storytelling career began at three years old with a dramatic original song about wind, sneezes, and “Little Little Johnnie” breaking a spell. My mom helped me write it down.
I performed it with conviction, and a star was clearly born.
Through every season of my life, there were notebooks filled with poems, song lyrics, short stories, and half-formed ideas that refused to leave me alone.
In 2010, I wrote my first full-length novel — a Twilight fanfiction that my friends secretly had printed and bound. When they handed me the physical copy, I cried; not because it was perfect (it absolutely was not), but because holding it made the dream tangible.
Then, in December 2025, the stars finally aligned and I found myself with the time needed to flesh out ideas I had first conceived of years earlier.
I wrote seven books in seven months.
Encouraged by the response from my beta readers, I finally took the leap and self-published Peckers: The Pact on June 9, 2026.
My parents would have been so very proud.
When I'm not wearing the many hats of an indie author, I'm a very happy wife to my doting husband, Angel, and a loving fur-mom to our kitties, Nova and Yaya.
