First, apologies for the gi-normus photo of me hula hooping in your inboxes. WordPress has changed a lot recently, so I made a technical error and I am totally red faced about it. I hope it made most of you smile instead of going, wah? Sigh. Is today Monday?
Onto the reason for this post: I’m not yet used to being the interviewee. I’ve been working as a journalist for 18 years now, so being the one ASKED the questions can at times feel a little uncomfortable. Not so when it’s poet mark Stratton asking the questions! His were fun, unique questions that put me at ease. Here’s the interview:
It’s Release Week! Yes, Carry On Dancing is now available on Amazon.com, and bn.com! You can also email me to order signed copies via Paypal. Copies will also be available in Chapters-Indigo bookstores and Boyer bookstores in my area ~email me if you’d like to pick a copy up locally and I’ll tell you about my Saturday readings for April’s National Poetry Month.
I want to take this opportunity to thank you readers for your wonderful support. Whether you’re a new follower or someone who’s been following this blog since I started it in 2008, I appreciate your visits and comments so much.
I’m thrilled to be featured on the home page of the Independent Authors Network. Please take a look at my interview and an excerpt from Carry On Dancing there. Thanks to IAN for featuring me and my work.
I also have a new web site to share! It has links to all my social networks and you can listen to my spoken word tracks and watch my videos right on the site, all in one place. I’m really excited about it. Please drop me a line and let me know you visited – email is in the bottom left corner.
If you pick up a copy of Carry On Dancing, please rate it, and if you have time, please add a review. Customer reviews are a big part of how new books get discovered on Amazon. Thanks so much for reading!
Best wishes,
Heather

Thanks for your wonderful support in buying LEAP on the Kobo! Sales were fantastic in its first week out on the Kobo, and I really appreciate those five-star ratings!
I’m thrilled to announce the long-awaited release of LEAP on the KINDLE. Thanks very much to my regular readers for giving me that little shove (“Heather! Do It! Now!” ) to get this book out there digitally. LEAP is now on iBOOKS in several countries, NOOK BOOKS, KOBO and KINDLE, SONY READER and soon beside its paperback version on THE COPIA
Where the Butterflies Go in paperback has benefited from some fantastic REVIEWS lately with the most recent at The River and I want to thank those reviewers for taking the time to write about the collection and share their thoughts on it with others. Where the Butterflies Go is now on sale at AMAZON in their 4-for-3 sale, and so thanks to the new reviews and this sale, lots of new readers are finding it. It’s so touching to me that people are grabbing this book off the shelves again four years since its release!
Graceful Publications last made a $100 donation to UNICEF GIFTS OF EDUCATION in the summer. If you keep supporting these two books as much as you have since Jan. 2012, I think I will be able to announce another donation long before summer 2012 arrives.
Thank you so much for reading, commenting, tweeting and LIKING–for sticking with me every step of the way!
Best wishes and Happy Valentine’s Week! Here’s a visual treat to thank you ~ sorry I cannot deliver these home made chocolate lollipops to each and every one of you readers, but perhaps I will make some for one of my readings in the near future, or for the Carry On Dancing launch party 🙂

With Love & Gratitude, Heather
