Author Heath Sommer’s debut novel, The Manufactured Identity, surprised critics with its plot twists and psychologically rich characters in 2009, and books two and three (The Grand Delusion & The Human Obsession) of the suspense series have met with similar acclaim since their publication in early and late 2010. Heath is currently writing book four of the series, crafting a tale of forensic psychology and, of course, murder. He also releasing his first YA thriller, Bull Trout Lake, a forest mystery set to ruin camping for all his children. Bull Trout Lake is in press and scheduled for a late summer/fall release.

Heath earned his Ph.D. in clinical psychology with an additional degree in the family sciences. He is a regular public speaker, adjunct professor of psychology, and practicing clinical psychologist. He spends his time with a mixture of metropolitan intensity and country living, presiding over a clan of junior novelists who are never fully impressed.
