Heather Barbieri

BIO

Heather Barbieri is half-Irish. Her paternal ancestors left
counties Donegal and Tipperary after The Great Famine and worked in
the coal mines of Eastern Pennsylvania before settling in Butte,
Montana. Her impeccably dressed maternal grandmother was a
descendant of a lady-in-waiting to Queen Victoria and instilled an
avid interest in fashion in her granddaughters. Barbieri’s
first novel, SNOW IN JULY (Soho Press), was selected as a Book
Sense Pick, a Glamour magazine “Riveting
Read,” and a Library Journal Notable First Novel.
Before turning to writing fiction full-time, she was a magazine
editor, journalist, and film critic. She lives in Seattle,
Washington, with her husband and three children, and is currently
working on her third novel.
