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.
