Meet Heather

Portrait of Heather Cornelius, author of The Perfect Victim.

I'm Heather Cornelius, author of The Perfect Victim and the woman behind Heather Celena.

I've always loved writing, but I never imagined my first published book would be my own life story. I'm a domestic violence survivor, a mother, a storyteller, and a woman who believes our experiences can inspire meaningful change.

Through writing, speaking, and survivor awareness, I hope to start important conversations, encourage education, and help create safer tomorrows.

Because my story is about more than surviving. It's about what comes next.
