Heather Para has curated at small museums across the country, to include the Totem Heritage Center in Ketchikan, Alaska, the nation's largest repository of nineteenth century totem poles and Native Alaskan artifacts, and the Fort Sill Museum, where she waited patiently for years to encounter Geronimo's ghost in the old jailhouse, to no avail. An Army brat, Heather has traveled and resided all over the U.S. and across the Pacific rim, but now lives in the Choctaw Nation, Oklahoma, with her enormous chocolate lab, Dexter, and an assortment of other creatures. In her spare time she enjoys international travel, good books and great coffee.
