Christiane Heggan is a bestselling romance author from Nice, France. While she was born in France, she always had a fascination with the English language though she was never good at it while she was in school. As young girls, Christiane and her friends always dreamed of moving to London, Paris, or Rome. However, they did not know how they would make a living once they landed there though they never stopped fantasizing. But then Heggan met her first love and the wanderlust dissipated for a few years. Years later, while she was at the University of Nice as a sophomore, she met an American soldier and within seven months, she was married and living in the United States. They lived in Lake Charles, Louisiana, which was a far cry from the adventure and big city life she had wanted as a teenage girl. While it was nothing like the fairy tale she had envisioned, she saw it as an adventure in love. However, those first few months were a nightmare as she could not speak a word of English, had never held a broom and could not cook. She had a lot of learning to do but within a year she could speak the language fluently, had the cleanest house on the street, and could cook like the best of her neighbors. She had even enrolled for a creative writing course after she was encouraged by her husband.

Her husband’s job took them all over the place from Spain, Morocco, Germany, New Jersey, California, Louisiana, Delaware, and California.

Heggan had never been to an interview before but bluffed her way through it and got a try out assignment with a 3 pm deadline on the following day. In less than twenty-four hours, she had conducted her first interview, made the article, and submitted it to the editor before the deadline, thus launching her career as a journalist. When she left the base, the editor’s parting words were that he had a feeling she would go far and that she should hang in there. According to Christiane Heggan, it is Bob her second husband and the editor who had the biggest influence on her early career as an author. Years later it was Bob who convinced her that she had it in her to become a novelist. When she went back to the United States, she started attending the Romance Writers of America New Jersey chapter and later on began attending the annual conferences.

She now has more than ten novels including the Kate Logan mystery romance series. She has said that the secret to writing great novels is writing what you know and what you would like to read.
