Heather A. Clark, Author of 'Chai Tea Sunday'
Be inspired by Heather's journey to success as a writer and her incredible ability to manage and achieve her goals while juggling work, life and motherhood.
Heather began writing her book as a creative outlet while on maternity leave with her second child. After she and her husband would tuck their kids into bed for the night, Heather would cozy up to her laptop and focus her attention on the journey of Nicky Fowler, the strong and inspirational woman who finds hope in a world fraught with adversity through unfaltering courage and never-ending determination. Chosen by Chapters and Indigo as a “new and hot in fiction” book pick, Heather’s debut novel has been praised by both the media and readers across the country. Heather is currently at work on her second book, which will be released in April 2014.
