Michelle Heeter has written short fiction for Australian magazines That’s Life and Family Circle under the pen name Renee Dunn. Her work has also appeared in the American titles True Story and True Confessions. Michelle has been a full-time technical writer for the past several years, and enjoys working with software developers.
Michelle grew up in the American Midwest. After earning a master’s degree from Michigan State University, Michelle left America for good. She moved to Japan, where she was a lecturer in English for six years. Michelle was living in Kobe when the 1995 earthquake struck. Five weeks later, she moved to Australia.

This book is dedicated to my high school English teacher, Mr. William Murphy. I owe special thanks to Dyan Blacklock and Meredith Costain, along with all the readers and editors who helped make Riggs Crossing a better book.
