And yes, there’s still poetry. I can’t help myself. It’s tucked into the rhythm of my sentences, the way my characters see the world, shaping my metaphors, the rhythm of my prose, and the way my characters speak and feel.

Strangely, Incredibly Good: The Movie!
It's a finalist! Let's make it a movie.
After Four Days in the Dark, I Saw the Light
Michael J. Fox once said that, “Family isn’t an important thing. Family is everything.”It took no electricity for days, hanging out with my best friends by the fire for me to realize that, in this era where it seems we’re walking around with devices glued to our hands, family technology-free time is everything.
Three Simple (and Surprisingly Cheap) Ways to Promote Your Book
I used these techniques and found within six months of trying them all that my monthly income had increased by 300 percent. They all took very little time to set up, and were worth the investment, because they brought me a profit.
On “Going Commercial” – And Loving It.
It didn't make sense to me: why are writers so undervalued, when people who catch footballs and run with them earn $5-20M a year?
It Never Goes Away.
I've been so excited this past week, I can barely eat, sleep, or —now this isn't normal for me —write! I know it's because I'm artistically exhausted. I just completed the long and arduous task of putting together an anthology of poems titled Caged: New and Selected Poems. Don't get me wrong - the task …
THAT’S The Ticket!
Wow! THE TICKET has a few recent reviews which have made me grin and do a little Heather dance -- always fun, passionate, but never graceful.

Writers: Do You Have Rhythm and Flow?
Hi all! Join me on a 3.5 minute trek along the St. Lawrence River, where I talk about finding your rhythm in writing, using natural elements in your writing to help connect with your readers, and nearly get hit by a truck while vidding (I'm kidding Mum and Dad! Kidding! Promise I'll never do this …
Marketing: Not My Favourite Thing.
Ugh. Marketing. Just the word sends me running to the fridge for comfort food. We authors are not built for marketing our books. We need to learn the business, and it's not an easy one. I do like interacting with readers online, and I especially love meeting them in person at readings and book signings. …
My first LIVE Q&A! Hope to see you tomorrow!

Why Deprive Yourself?
Remarkably Great is available to pre-order NOW on Kindle or order it when it's launched August 1, 2015!

What Do YOU Think?
I believe Remarkably Great has a new cover: I'm in love! How do my readers feel about this one compared to the red one with girl on motorbike? Please vote in comments below. Yup, Cat is not a blonde, but book covers and movies cast women differently than how they were described in the book …

Cheers to Readers & Reviewers!
As the holidays draw nearer, I'm feeling grateful for so many people in my life. I've had the chance to thank some in person already at festive gatherings, but have not yet thanked you readers. So (raising a glass) thank you so much for purchasing and reading my poetry and Strangely, Incredibly Good this year, …
An Interview with Heather Grace Stewart
Writer-Blogger Caroline Clemens offered to have me visit her blog, Gardenlilie.com for a short interview. Fun! Thanks very much Caroline!
This is Heather Grace Stewart! I found this Canadian author on WordPress, and read her poetry book a couple years ago. I even left her my first review that I ever wrote. I had no idea I’d be posting a short interview about her further accomplishments. She is bubbly and vivacious and gets her work out there for others to see and enjoy.
Though she’s trained as a journalist, Heather Grace Stewart has been writing creatively since she was five years old, and says “I don’t see myself stopping any time soon.” She’s had a screenplay, two nonfiction books, a children’s book of poems, and four collections of poetry published. How incredible!
Here’s more about her on her blog. Have a look.
In June 2014, Morning Rain Publishing published her first novel, Strangely, Incredibly Good (a romantic comedy/fantasy). It reached #10 in humorous fiction on Kobo and #28 in Women’s…

A Face and a Name
My new business cards from Moo.com are so much fun! Love how they and their lovely card holders (which come free with the cards) are sourced from paper from sustainable forests and recycled pulp. Even the four, red order reference cards aren't wasted. Instead, they have fun sayings on them like "I like your shoes." …
Sensationally Sudsy! Behind the Scenes!
You have to be creative and think outside the box (or, er, inside the tub) a lot when you're a little-known author with a small, independent, Canadian publisher. As hard as it is to get new people to discover your work, you can't give up. One technique not working? Try something new. Something different. You …

Let’s Go Stargazing with Canadian Poet Heather Grace Stewart
My sixth poetry collection is an offering of rhyming and free verse poems to try to soothe our weary souls. We might be stuck inside this winter, apart from our family and friends, but we can still go Stargazing. Enjoy.
Dear Loyal Blog Readers
I've neglected you bloggy friends. I could use the excuse that 2020 has been hard, but it's not just that. Juggling everything I have to juggle as a business owner and author has been hard. I started my fiction career off in WordPress, with you wonderful blogger pals reading and commenting on my poems. I …
