About Alexandra Heep:

Alexandra Heep is a longtime writer, chronic over-thinker, and recovering content mill survivor. Her work has appeared in literary journals, anthologies, and online platforms where words are still respected. She writes children’s books, health reflections, and the occasional blog post laced with humor and hard-won honesty. After years of illness, detours, and navigating the noise of modern wellness, she returned to writing with the firm belief that stories—like people—don’t have to be perfect to matter. She publishes under multiple pen names and drinks more goat milk than you’d expect.

A to Z Challenge 2019: U is for Uriah Heep



Uriah Heep is my favorite band. I love it so much that I changed my name to incorporate a part of it. The band is also the reason Tom and I found each other. We connected on Facebook when he sent me a friend request. The only reason he did that was because of that name he knew me to be a Uriah Heep fan. They are among his top-five favorite bands. No, we had no intention of becoming a couple, it took years, but life is funny that way.

A few facts about Uriah Heep:

  • They named themselves after a character in the David Copperfield (by Charles Dickens) novel.
  • They were established in 1969.
  • They have had over 20 members.
  • They have released 25 studio albums.

If you are interested in some music clips:

Sunrise (1973 live)

Pilgrim (1973)

July Morning (2009 live) mine and Tom's favorite

Easy Livin' (2017)

I had never heard of them until you told me that several years ago when we were both writing for Helium. Sorry, but not my kinda music.
