Revamp
It's come to my attention while away on residency that this beaut is overdue for an update/revamp, so I plan to tackle that by fall. What better time for change? A part of that will include upping my social media presence -- which includes here! I won't dive in now since I'll just get long-winded and it's summer and you all wanna be outside enjoying the sun (and storms!), but suffice it to say I'm so so so grateful for all of you and I want to show that. XOXO Heather

New Series!
Excited to share that I'm working on "Vampire Wars," a six-book YA fiction series for EPIC Escape (a division of EPIC Press), due out June 2017!
Let’s fall in love ...
Would anyone be interested in taking a low-cost, 8-week online poetry workshop without institutional support/restrictions/bureaucratic nonsense? Let's say $100, no course materials cost. Lots of exercises, experiments, reading, writing, critiquing and revising. PM with interest and shareshareshare. (Cross-posting.)

Tell me where it hurts, she’d say. Stop howling. Just calm down and show me where. But some people can’t tell where it hurts. They can’t calm down. They can’t ever stop howling.
