Background:
Studied English Literature at Seton Hall University, graduating in 1999. 
After university got a job at the New Jersey Star-Ledger. 
Couldn’t get into the job there, so after a year (Oct 2000) he moved back to San Francisco, taking a low wage job at the San Francisco Herald. He was there for just under a year before taking a job at the San Francisco Chronicle (Sept 2001 - the week before 9/11).
He worked at the Chronicle for 4 years. After a year there (Sept 2002) he realised that it was actually journalism that he didn’t like, and started working on a novel in his spare time. He was still in the outlining stage eight months later (May 2003) when he was asked to write a short piece on Harvey Milk for the upcoming 25th anniversary of Milk’s murder. 
Heath was very unhappy with the Milk piece, feeling like he’d only skirted the surface of the man. When the article was published in Nov 2003, Heath abandoned his novel planning (deleting the files from his laptop), and set about writing a biography of Milk in his free time.
During this time, Heath developed what he called ‘method writing’. In order to better understand Milk’s background and motivation he learnt to dive, participated in various civil rights groups, and spent time in San Francisco’s LGBT scene including dating a guy called Travis for a month (although they never ‘consummated’ the relationship and Travis wasn’t exclusive at the time).
The Milk biography was published in October 2005, at which point Heath quit the paper to work on biographies full-time.
