Description

About the Author I live outside of Columbus, Georgia with my husband and son. I have been writing since I was a teenager and really enjoy seeing a story from my mind come to fruition on paper. I have always loved ghost stories and mysteries, but I am not limited to those genres. I look forward to adding to available publications!

Features & Highlights

  • If you love a little bit of intrigue mixed with romance, then you will love this mystery set in both present and civil war times. Hannah Tandy moves to the small town of Harpersville, Georgia after losing her husband to a drunk driver and soon realizes there's something paranormal going on in her antebellum home. She feels deeply connected to three teenagers who vanished more than one hundred years before and finds herself drawn into their lives and does everything she can to get to the bottom of their disappearance. Along the way she makes a new life for herself and finds that the townspeople are just as intrigued. Her new home town wants nothing more than to find closure for their lost youths. Where will the eerie footsteps heard in her attic lead her?

A ghostly Hallmark romance

Footsteps in the Attic is an easy, fun read; I read it in two days.
A young widow moves to a small Georgia town to purchase and flip an Antebellum home. She meets and becomes friends with everyone in the town, including the local sheriff with whom she begins a sweet, flirty relationship. The romance kept reminding me of Hallmark movies, and that wasn't a bad thing.
A mystery begins to unfold through the house and ghosts that inhabit it. This is not a horror story. This is a ghostly mystery, and our heroine, Hannah, is drawn into the mystery's twists and turns on the way to solving it.
Other reviewers have been critical of proofing errors, and there are some, but none of them distract from the story. I enjoyed this book and will read others by Heidi Wildes Mitchell. You should, too.

So very disappointing

I see by the biography that this author is an adult. However, as I was reading, I began to wonder if I wasn't reading something by a person who hadn't passed high school English. Yes, yes, yes, SHE NEEDS A GOOD EDITOR! The plot is a good premise, though I had correctly guessed the ending long before I had finished the book, but the disjointed sentences, clunky syntax and incorrect spelling, punctuation and grammar make me want to grab my red pencil and start marking, circling and correcting her writing and word choices. Trying to wade through the mess isn't worth it. I'm glad I read this for free. I won't be reading this author again.

Someone should have proofread this book before it went to print, lot of misspelled words. It was O.K. Must be a young writer, needs more experience. Keep trying.

Good Ghost Story

In Mitchell's fantasy novel, she spins a charming story clearly written by a young and inexperienced writer. An entertaining, easy to read story.

Great Read!

This was a really great book with a great storyline. It was easy to read and kept my interest the whole time. Heidi's character development was very well-done. It keeps you wondering and turning the next page to find out what happens next. I hope Heidi keeps writing. I'll definitely keep reading!
