Heather Burnside Books in Order

Heather Burnside, a Manchester-born author, draws inspiration from her gritty upbringing in the city's toughest estates. Growing up in Gorton, a neighborhood that served as the original setting for the TV series Shameless, and later moving to Longsight, shaped her writing style and influenced many of her novels. This raw, unapologetic perspective is a hallmark of her work, which often delves into the complexities of working-class life and the struggles of growing up in a world plagued by gang violence and social unrest. After raising her two children and pursuing a creative writing course, Heather now dedicates herself full-time to crafting compelling stories that reflect her unique voice and experiences.
