Heartstrings Blog Tour - 1 September


Today is the final day of what I can only describe as an absolutely fabulous blog tour.  
To finish off, there are seven more blogs sharing Heartstrings.  
Links to their sites are below, please take the time to go and check out their posts.

Thank you so much to all of the wonderful blogs that have supported this tour.  
An extra special shout out to Tami (my amazing blog partner!) from Into the Night Reviews and Kristy from Book Addict Mumma for all their hard work in organising this tour.  
From my perspective it was absolutely seamless and I'm pretty sure all of the participating blogs would say the same thing.  

Thank you ladies - you rock!!

An of course I can't forget the most important people of all - you the readers, the ones who read my books and tell others about them.  Without you none of this would be possible - so thank you, thank you, thank you - from the very bottom of my heart.

Here's one last teaser for you - enjoy!  Oh and don't forget to pop back a little later when I share my surprise with you ;)

Heartstrings Blog Tour - 30 August


Day Six of the blog tour with another seven stops.  The support for this tour has been overwhelming and some of the wonderful reviews have brought me to tears.  The blogging community is truly a wonderful thing and I'm proud to be part of it.

No book would be complete with the contribution of an editor.  They add a certain polish to the story and ensure that spelling, grammar and all the really important stuff is just right.  I'd love to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to Raelene Green for picking this up quite late in the process and weaving her editing magic.

The other people that make all the difference in the writing process are the beta readers and I had an awesome group of girls giving me feedback along the way, supporting me and encouraging me and helping me make Heartstrings what it is today.  

So a big shout out goes to Debi Barnes, Julie Deaton, Lara Felstein, Kristy Garbutt, Stephanie Harper Mulford, Danielle Hoover, Emily Sarah Lamphear-Mitchell, Katie Mac, Lea Marika, Tami Norman and Elle Wilson.

Heartstrings Blog Tour - 29 August


Blog Tour Day Five sees seven sensational blogs sharing Heartstrings!!  Links to their sites are below, please go and say hi and tell them Heather sent you.


In the lead up to the release of Heartstrings I tempted people with a number of teasers.  While these two were released separately, they are part of the same scene in the book and it's one of my favorites.

Heartstrings Blog Tour - 28 August



Day four and there is again an amazing line up of blogs - links to their sites are below.  
I am so thankful for all the support being given to Heartstrings.

Make sure to come back on 1 September as I have a surprise to share!

Creating characters is part of the writing process that I really love.  Tori and Will first appeared in Love Notes with Charlie and Maverick, so I had a bit of time to think about them and develop them.  Everyone pictures their characters differently, but for me, the following pictures are my perfect Heartstrings cast.

Heartstrings Blog Tour - 26 August


Day Two of the tour sees an even bigger line up of blogs with eight stops today.  Blog links to each of the blogs are provided below so you can go and see what they've got to say about Heartstrings.


I am a huge music lover and music plays a large part in my writing process.  As I wrote Heartstrings I listened to songs and found many that related to elements of the story.  I thought you might like to see the songs that to me, are as much a part of Heartstrings as the characters are.
