Featured Interview With Author Ross Hightower and Deb Heim
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
We met in Atlanta, then moved all over the country before we ended up in Milwaukee. Never been happier. We have two grown kids, and have had a range of cats, dogs and other creatures, but no pets at the moment.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
We have both been voracious readers our whole lives. It's one of reasons we were drawn to each other. Ross started writing several years ago, and although Deb was an English major in college and wrote a lot when she was younger, she didn't consider writing fiction until she started working with Ross on plot wrangling Argren Blue.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
We both read mostly fantasy, although we have been reading thrillers lately as we dabble in a new genre with an upcoming book. Some of our favorites are Django Wexler, JRR Tolkien, Katherine Addison, Patrick Rothfuss, Samantha Shann, and RA Salvatore. I am inspired by writers who manage complex plotlines while developing characters and providing emotional beats.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
Our latest book, which will come out September 4th, 2025 is Oss'stera, the next book in the Rebels Rising series. It continues the story of Alar, the leader of the rebel group Oss'stera. In a world where art can be an act of political rebellion, Alar leads the rag-tag rebel group Oss'stera against the Vollen Empire bent on repressing the Alle'oss people. Finding themselves in the center of high stakes political maneuvering, Alar and fellow rebels Scilla and Ukrit hatch a daring scheme—infiltrate an elite art event and escape with a lord's treasure.
