HEIDI EDMUNDSON
Heidi Edmundson was born by the sea and grew up with the legends of Northern Ireland’s spectacular Causeway Coast. As a child, she was fascinated by myths and fairy tales, and was an avid reader of mystery stories. Her love of crime fiction developed in adolescence when she discovered Agatha Christie.
She studied medicine at Dundee University and currently lives in North London where she has been a consultant in Emergency Medicine for over ten years. She is a passionate advocate for staff wellbeing and building positive workplace cultures. During the pandemic she experienced first-hand the importance of having a daily creative practice to manage stress and anxiety. She originally planned just to write a short story but surprised herself by discovering that she had a lot more to say and she enjoyed creating a crime to solve as much as reading about one. Her second book is a memoir of a personal health crisis, set against the NHS in chaos.
