Heidi McCahan is an inspirational romance author whose upbringing in Alaska’s scenic wilderness ignited her passion for storytelling. Growing up in a family-owned lodge, Heidi spent summers immersed in the bustling tourism industry, fostering her boundless imagination and entrepreneurial spirit.
Driven by her thirst for adventure, Heidi ventured beyond the majestic Chugach Mountains surrounding her hometown to pursue higher education, earning both a Bachelor’s Degree in Sports Medicine and a Master’s Degree in Athletic Training. Following a brief yet rewarding stint as a Certified Athletic Trainer, she started a new chapter by marrying her husband, Steve, and settling in picturesque North Carolina with their three boys.
Heidi is a proud member of My Book Therapy, American Christian Fiction Writers and Women’s Fiction Writers Association. Her romance books have garnered nominations in various contests, and in 2023 her Love Inspired novels His Easter Baby and Her Alaskan Companion earned coveted spots on the prestigious Publishers Weekly Bestsellers list.
Heidi’s books beautifully blend elements of small-town charm, second chances, and heartfelt romance, captivating readers seeking wholesome, feel-good stories. With a penchant for happy endings and an unwavering love for coffee and dark chocolate, Heidi invites you to escape into her world of love, faith, and the promise of forever.
