Heather Latimer became noted for "making difficult subjects easy" during her lengthy national television and radio campaign for Funk & Wagnall's Encyclopedia, and as host of Heather Latimer Reviews on WPIX-TV New York.

This British-born lady's career began on Fleet Street, London, and continued on Madison Avenue, New York. Otherwise her merry roving, among royalty aboard the ocean liner QEII on their way to Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth's golden anniversary, among refugees at the Phenat Nikem and Ban Vinai refugee camps in South East Asia, among rich and poor, celebrities and rogues, locally and in the far reaches of the world, has given her a deep understanding of human interests in all classes of society and kept here current on new practices, emerging trends, and what's in and what's out.

She is the author of innumerable articles in national magazines, plus 15 other works in the non-fiction, how-to, self-help and biography genres. She is especially noted for her heavy research among real people in reliable locales NOT rehashed from the internet.
