Lorraine Heath


USA flag (b.1954)

aka Rachel Hawthorne, Jade Parker

Lorraine Heath has always had a soft spot for emotional love stories. No doubt because growing up, watching movies with her mom, she was taught that the best movies "won't half make you cry."

When she received her BA degree in psychology from the University of Texas, she had no idea she had gained a foundation that would help her to create believable characters - characters that are often described as "real people". Her novels have appeared on bestseller lists, including USA Today, Waldenbooks, and most recently, the New York Times.

Eyes Turned Skyward (2022)
Alena Dillon
