+ Click to View all Anthologies Heather Graham is one of the famous and best-selling US authors today. Her romance novels have been one of the most sought after for more than 30 years now. Her novels dramatically changed her life from being an ordinary person, into a creator of romantic dreams people desire to experience. Among the best writers in America, Heather Graham quickly gained the popularity, respect and love from her fans and contemporaries.
Heather Graham Pozzessere or simply Heather Graham was born on 15th of March, 1953 in Dade County, Florida. Shortly after graduating high school, she marries Dennis Pozzessere, the man that will be with her though her successful journey as an author. After her marriage, she went back to her schooling and entered the University of South Florida and took a course in Theatre arts. After successfully graduating, she worked on dinner theatres and did singing sidelines as a vocal backup and bartending. It was during those hard times that Heather Graham found the source of her imaginative novels.
Her time as a vocal artist, bartender and a performer at dinner theatres helped her get the material for her successful novels. As she was a writer by heart, she felt that her career in the theatre business will take her nowhere so she decided to shift course. She left the theatre, gave up singing and bartending, came home and started to write her first novel. Graham’s experience in the theatre business helped her create her first novel. When Next We Love.
This romantic novel tells of the romance of an unlikely pair. A woman widowed early in her life was in for a surprise of her life as she found an unexpected romance on the person, a rock star singer, she sorely hates. Trapped in an island off the Florida Keys as a terrific summer storm began to surge in. As Heather Graham puts it, beneath their bitterness they have towards each other lies an untapped abundance of romantic chemistry waiting to gush forth.
In 1982, only two years after she decided to become a full time writer, she finished this novel and her career in writing started. She started to write novels furiously after tasting the success of her first novel. Soon after, literary works began to flow as if the undiscovered spring of words that lie dormant inside of her was suddenly released. She then started to write not only romance novels but also on other genres such as the paranormal, horror and suspense, though she continued to compose romantic tales that continued to captivate her fans.
Every year since her first book in 1982, novel after novel flowed like water out of her hands totaling to more than 150 full books in just 30 years of writing. This feat of writing excellence earned her the lifetime achievement award from the Romance Writers of America in 2003. She became the inspiration of many budding female writers during the 1990s. As a writer, she also used pen names to mask her identity. In the course of her writing career, she authored a number of books under the name “Shannon Drake.”
The first novel that became popular under her pen name was Odine. The book was released in 1988 and it became one of her most popular literary works, though under her pen name. The story is classified as a historical romance with a touch of mystery with its setting in 17th century England. The story revolves on the plight of a vengeful woman named Odine who fell out of nobility because of the vicious murder of her father and Lord Warwick, who desperately want to find his wife’s killer.
Warwick and Odine met due to unexpected circumstances and helped each other find the killers of their love one. Heather Graham’s career skyrocketed through the years and now enjoys the laud and praises from writing organizations in the United States. Aside from her success in writing romance, vampire, mystery and even time travel books, she also became the launch author of companies such as Silhouette’s shadow line, Dell’s Ecstasy Supreme line and Mira books.
Her immense imaginative powers has solidified her place as one of the best female writers in the United States and the whole world as her novels have been translated into 20 different languages. She became a member of various writing organizations in America, most notably are the Mystery writers of America, Horror Writers Association where she became one of its vice presidents, Novelist incorporated and International thriller writers. Her contribution to these organizations was well appreciated and she quickly became one of their major influences. Though she was a successful writer, she never felt that her talents and success was solely given to her.
She created charitable associations and guilds that help writers achieve their dreams. She was instrumental in the founding of the Florida chapter of the Romance Writers of America (RWA). She also created a group called the Slushpile band and Slushpile players, which nods to her time working in dining theatres. This group of entertainers cater to requests and gigs and is managed by her and her co-writers. She was also the founder of the annual Romantic Times Vampire ball which is mainly a charitable event.

Also, she continues to receive awards from various associations that have acknowledge her achievement and contribution to the literary world. Associations such as the Waldenbooks B. Dalton, Romance times and Affaire de Coeur have given her awards for her excellence. Heather Graham is among those persons who was able to use their talents to the fullest.
