About Heather

After spending the better part of a decade locked in a law library, Heather C. Watson became a freelance writer and full-time volunteer. Heather grew up in a tiny Eastern Kentucky coal town and has called Lexington, Louisville, and Nashville "home."  A frequent contributor to Lexington's Ace Weekly magazine, Heather specializes in essays about Southern life.  She is a devoted fan of the University of Kentucky's basketball and football teams and is the co-founder of The Kentucky Girls, a blog which describes Kentucky sports from the female fanatic's perspective.  She is also the founder and editor of Her Kentucky, a collective of Bluegrass State women bloggers.  When she isn't writing, Heather spends her days with her fiancé, Bob, and their black labs, Max and Sophie.
