By- Heidi Garrett
Genre- YA Fantasy/Faerie Tales
Long before the half-faerie Melia was born in the mortal world, the god Vulcan married Isolt of the Waters. When she betrayed him, the seeds of a great war were planted in the Void.
In Idonne, a young scholar studies Isolt’s story, along with tales of dwarf magic and the birth of a malevolent entity in the Void, Umbra. The stories awaken his dream of a life filled with adventure and heroism.
Half Faerie
Daughter of Light Trilogy # 1
By- Heidi Garrett
Genre- YA Fantasy/Faerie Tales
She doesn’t believe in love, and she doesn’t believe in herself.
The crucible of her parents’ dark ambitions will forge her destiny.
Her consciousness will be transformed.
The journey will be epic.
Melia is an eighteen-year-old half faerie, half-mortal who longs to fly like the full-blood faeries. She also yearns for a life that's truly her own, which might prove more difficult than sprouting wings. Her faerie mother practices black magic, and her mortal father plots to bring war to the enchanted world. No matter how she tries to escape their long shadow, Melia is unable to distance herself from her parents’ obsessions.
After the half-faerie is accused of being her father's spy, her friend advises a trip to the Illustrator. The mysterious woman marks Melia's forehead with a strange emblem. She claims it will draw a young priest from distant lands who will come to the half-faerie's aid. Spooked rather than comforted, Melia dismisses the woman's words. Rather, she travels to the mortal world to confront her father.
Whimsical and edgy, Daughter of Light is a spinoff of the 14th century French fairy tale “Melusine.” A high fantasy with fairy tale elements and an intriguing cosmology, it's a great choice for readers who have loved Lord of the Rings.

Interview:
Are there any new
authors that have grasped your interest?
I discovered author Laura Briggs last year. She wrote the most
amazing retelling of “Cinderella” I have ever read. The story is told in two
books, Charming and Cindermaid.
What are your current
projects?
I’ll begin writing War & Grace, the third book in the
Daughter of Light Trilogy in August. I can’t wait! I’ve also begun developing a
retelling of The Snow Queen. Next
year, Billie Limpin and I will be working on our second installment of The Magic Cupcake series.
Name one entity that you
feel supported you outside of family members.
The Online Writers Workshop. I was a member for two years.
Do you see writing as a
career?
Yes. For me it is a vocation.
If you had to do it all
over again, would you change anything in your latest book?
Since I’ve been working on it for over two years, I’ve had the chance to make significant changes since the first drafts. I’m really glad I was able to make them. At this point, I wouldn’t change anything else. I’m excited to where the second installment of Melia’s story has evolved to.
Do you recall how your
interest in writing originated?
I began writing poetry as an adolescent. It was private, the
sole purpose self-expression. I’ve just always the magic of working with words
on a page.
What would you like to
tell my readers?
I believe loving relationships are transformational, and that
discovering and living from the whole truth of who we are is empowering. I hope
that if you read my work, you will enjoy the journey, and come back to your own
life renewed and inspired to be true to you.
