Farah Halliwell spent her formative years wearing long black dresses and wishing she was a witch in either the Buffy the Vampire Hunter universe, or the Sabrina the Teenage Witch one. She spent her adult years knitting sweaters, drinking too much tea, talking to her cats, and reading romance novels. It was inevitable that she would eventually weave cozy stories about witches falling in love.

Writing as Farah Heron, she is the critically acclaimed romance author of adult novels including A Little Holiday Fling and Accidentally Engaged, and young adult novels including Remember Me Tomorrow, and The Bad Boyfriend Curse. Farah lives in Toronto with her family and two cats who have not yet learned to intelligibly respond back to her (not for lack of trying, though).
