Heather Grace Stewart (born Heather Katherine Grace) is a Canadian poet, journalist, and bestselling author of contemporary romcoms and magical realism novels with “real mess, real magic, real heart.” She wrote her first poem at age five, inspired by a tumble while figure skating. At the Arena was published in her school newsletter, and from that moment, she was hooked on the idea that words could touch people. Her first poetry book, "Where the Butterflies Go," was self-published on Lulu.com and went on to sell over 500 copies worldwide, launching her career as a poet and novelist. Heather is now the author of 24 published works, including fast‑paced, humorous, and touching romance novels and several poetry collections. Her romantic comedy The Ticket, inspired by a true story, became an international Kindle bestseller and was optioned for film. She has also written two romantic comedy screenplays, The Friends I’ve Never Met and Best Before. All eight of her novels have been released as audiobooks by Tantor Audio (Recorded Books) or Dreamscape Media. Her work has been translated into French and Polish, with five novels published in Poland by Empik in 2022. Reviewers call her poetry modern, unconventional, tender, and heartfelt. She lives with her husband, Bill, a space systems engineer, and their young adult Finn, a graphic designer and musician, near Montreal, Canada.
