Heather Morris needs no introduction! Her first novel, The Tattooist of Auschwitz (2018), was an international bestseller that has been adapted into a Stan Original series starring Harvey Keitel. This novel, along with Heather's subsequent historical novels, Cilka’s Journey (2019). Three Sisters (2021), and Sisters under the Rising Sun (2023), have sold over 18 million copies worldwide!   

Heather's latest novel The Wish, is a powerful and heartfelt contemporary novel about courage, family, resilience and finding hope in the darkest of places. Joining Heather in conversation will be Vikki Petraitis, a fellow award-winning author whose highly anticipated second novel The Stolen launched at Brighton Library in September.

The Wish is Heather’s first contemporary novel and was inspired by her years spent working in a busy public hospital, alongside families facing the toughest of times with love and courage. 

Born in Te Awamutu, New Zealand, Heather has lived between Australia and New Zealand since 1971. After completing a Bachelor of Arts degree at Monash University, she worked for over two decades in the Social Work department at a major Australian teaching and research hospital.
