A bit about Heidi ... Heidi Renee Mason always knew she would be an author. Heidi is passionate about writing, and writes fiction, as well as poetry. In her spare time, Heidi enjoys music, genealogy, all things Celtic, and chick flicks. A native of the Midwest, Heidi now resides in the Pacific Northwest with her husband and three daughters. Investigating the Heart is Heidi’s debut novel.
Here's a brief peek into, Investigating the Heart.
After the death of her husband in a plane crash, Emma McCoy, a single mom of three, has given up on love. When she meets Liam O’Reilly, an FBI agent who is new in town, the chemistry is immediate. Emma tries to keep her distance, but Liam is determined to win her over. As the two navigate their feelings, Emma’s resolve begins to crumble. What Emma doesn’t know is that Liam is connected to her past in a way that she could never have imagined, and this connection could put their future in jeopardy. In the small town of Beckland, Ohio, danger is the last thing that Emma expects. However, since Liam’s arrival, it seems like peril is waiting around every corner.

information at www.facebook.com/HeidiReneeMason.
6.
What
do you think are the biggest challenges for the type of writing that
you do?
For me, I’m a romantic, so the biggest challenge in writing is to
keep it believable and make sure there is enough conflict and that
it’s not all rainbows and smiles.
7.
How
did you get started in writing?
I have loved reading since I was a small child. As a teenager, that
love of reading turned into a love of writing. I enjoyed expressing
myself through the written word more than verbally. I learned that it
was something at which I excelled, so I continued.
8.
Where
and How can readers get in touch with you?
I love to interact with readers. The best way to get in touch with me
is through my website, www.heidireneemason.wordpress.com,

9.
So
with your latest work released/or being released, what comes next?
What can we expect from you in the future?
I am currently working on my second novel, with a working title of
Hope Found. It is in the very early stages, so I’m anxious to see
where that journey will take me.
10.
How
much of your personality and life experiences are in your writing?
As an author, I think you put a part of you in every word, every
scene, and every character. After all, this is your story, the way
you see it. Although my work is fiction, those who know me like to
point out the similarities between me and my characters.
11.
Do
you have a set schedule for writing or do you just go with the flow?
I would love to have a set writing schedule, but that’s not how
things work in my house. I am a home schooling mama of three girls,
so my schedule really revolves around theirs. I work a lot of things
out in my head before I ever put words on paper. I work in fits and
spurts. Some days I will write a lot, some days I won’t write
anything at all. However, I am always thinking of my next plot and
how it will all fit together.
12.
What
about you in general? What is it that makes you tick? Makes you you?
Things you like to do and what prompted you into writing? My
life really revolves around my family. My husband and girls are the
most important things to me. I think being a wife and mother make me
a better writer. I put a lot of myself into my writing. When I’m
not reading or writing, I enjoy genealogy, music, and I am a Celtic
enthusiast.
13.
Among
your own books, have you a favourite book? Favourite Hero or Heroine?
I don’t have a favorite book. I don’t think I could choose one. I
love Ken Follett, Nicholas Sparks, Jodi Picoult, Elin Hilderbrand,
and L.M. Montgomery, just to name a few.
14.
Do
you ever ask friends/family for advice or ideas to go into your
works?
Definitely! I am always asking my husband about ideas, and asking
what he thinks about something I have come up with.
15.
Have
you ever experienced Writer's Block? If so how did you work through
it?
My cure for writer’s block is to just start writing. I find that as
soon as I sit down to write, the words come. They may not always be
the words I want, or the words I end up with, but the words will come
if you let them.
16.
Lastly
do you have any words of encouragement for unpublished writers?
I would encourage anyone with a passion for writing to pursue it. You
have to do it because you love it, though. Don’t do it because you
think you’ll be rich and famous, because that is unlikely for the
most part. Do it because it is in you and it needs to be let out.
