Following degrees in English Language & Literature and Secondary Education, with a minor in Theatre, Heidi Duncan concentrated, by and large, on writing and acting, as well as teaching English. She has worked in the theater and film world since 1995, acting on stages up and down the East Coast, and directing, producing and writing shows in Boston and New York. She co-founded two acting companies, marrying the performing arts, the written arts, and education. Her first solo art show (with oil and canvas) was in New York this March, and through it all, she has been writing.
