Hello faithful readers! How have you been? I’ve been away, speaking & giving poetry readings in Kingston, Ontario. It’s been a fantastic tour. You can find photos from the events on my Facebook Author Page. I’ll soon be posting 2-minute clips of the speech I gave at Queen’s University (LEAP! LIVING WITH PASSION, PERSISTENCE & POETRY) , but for now, here’s the 54-second publicity clip that’s up on Vimeo and YouTube. Please share!
The Groovy Granny: Reviews!
Thanks to Kim Larocque and her beautiful blog Muse in the Valley for her fantastic review of and back-story to The Groovy Granny ebook!
More reviews of this book are listed here: Reviews of Heather’s Poetry
(All reviews are posted on that page, but reviews for Carry On Dancing aren’t posted yet. I have been so busy touring with that book I haven’t had time yet to post reviews. You can however check out all customer reviews on Amazon here: Reviews of Carry On Dancing)

Our Dream Realized: The Groovy Granny EBook
My daughter Kayla and I realized a dream a little over a year ago by publishing our book of illustrated children’s poems, The Groovy Granny. You’ve shown such great support by buying autographed copies (something that just tickled Kayla!) and inviting us to your schools.
Guess what? It’s now a Groovy ebook for just $2.99 on Kindle, iBooks, Kobo, Nook Books and more!
Check it out on Kindle Kindle here
and iBooks here (You’ll have to switch to your own country’s store in iTunes but the book is available in many countries on iBooks)
Kobo here
If you don’t have an ereader, that’s okay, most of these have a FREE app that lets you read right on your computer desktop or laptop!
Here’s the link to the blog post I wrote when copies of The Groovy Granny arrived. It explains how The Groovy Granny came to be, and will also give you links to buy copies of The Groovy Granny in paperback or hardcover if you’re interested. (We also sign and ship copies on request).
Thanks for reading and reviewing The Groovy Granny!

P.S. I’d really appreciate you buying my two other poetry collections, Leap and Carry On Dancing, while you’re at it. Why not get a complete trilogy ? :} It will give me some incentive to keep on writing for this fourth collection I’m slowly putting together!
Love,

It’s not just another hashtag. When I use it, I mean it 🙂
Yes, I really am writing,and loving it! But this time, I can’t share all of it. I want to keep some surprises for you for my fourth collection.
I’ve been back at it, writing and editing poems every morning, as well as working on my speech
for the Ban Righ Centre’s Speaker Series, October 12th. I’ll be speaking there at noon. Having attended Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, I’m so excited to return. I’ll be reading from Carry On Dancing while there, and will also sign books and read while at Chapters Kingston (in the mall) on Saturday, Oct. 13th. I hope some of you can join me there.
What’s to become of this blog? I have 500-some loyal followers; I don’t want to let you down. I’ll continue to post photo-quotos and am hoping to get a few Interviews with Poets up in the near future. I’d also like to do a weekly writing exercise with you. If any of you are into posts about poetic form (Villanelle, haiku, two of my favourites) and then attempting that form, let me know. You may just nudge me into doing this with you weekly, but I’d need to know if there’s interest there.
Thanks for sticking around! We’ll have lots of fun.
Cheers,
Heather
