JUNE 25TH 2025 FEATURING TIKIRI HERATH

Tikiri Herath is an intelligence and risk analyst turned thriller novelist.

She has won multiple literary awards for her international mystery and crime thrillers which feature strong female protagonists. A global nomad who grew up, studied, and worked across Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America, she now calls Canada home. When Tikiri’s not plotting a thriller scene or planning an adrenaline-filled trip, you’ll find her in her kitchen with a glass of red wine in hand and jazz playing in the background.

LONG BIO:

Tikiri Herath is the multiple award-winning author of international crime thrillers and murder mystery novels.   

Tikiri has a bachelor's degree from the University of Victoria, Canada, and a master's degree from the Solvay Business School in Brussels, Belgium.

For almost two decades, she worked in risk management in the intelligence and defense sectors, including in the Canadian Federal Government and at NATO in Europe and North America.    

Tikiri's an adrenaline junkie who has rock climbed, bungee jumped, rode on the back of a motorcycle across Quebec, flown in an acrobatic airplane upside down, and parachuted solo.   

When she's not plotting another thriller scene or planning an adrenaline-filled trip, you'll find her baking in her kitchen with a glass of red Shiraz and vintage jazz playing in the background.   

An international nomad and fifth-culture kid, she now calls Vancouver, Canada home. Her latest book is Her Grisly Grave, which came out in March. It’s the sixth and final book in my latest series you can get it on Amazon .ca or any book store .

It’s available on all book platforms and can be requested by libraries as well. In the spirit of keeping things Canadian, I would recommend Kobo as it’s a Canadian online bookstore.
