The Faery Heart

I am delighted to announce:

My book has been accepted by a publisher!!!

A lovely German publisher has decided to take on The Faery Heart, and to publish it in a German translation with new illustrations by a gorgeous artist.

Celebration time!!! :)

It’ll be out, at the very earliest, late spring next year… so, in the meantime:

The original, English, version is up on Lulu!

Complete with my own illustrations.

Have a printed copy sent to your door, or download a digital version to read right away.

I feel like I’m flying :)

Happy thoughts to you all!!!

Hello lovely LJ folk... I've just realised that I've not been posting here for quite a while... so I thought I'd share my latest project with you all.

I've been exploring thoughts around re-enchanting the world, and, as anyone who knows me knows, I am rather partial to Fae-folk; so I've begun a weekly series of blogposts called Pixie Kisses. The intention is to offer little things one can do to encourage the re-enchantment of one's life. Little kisses of Fae enchantment... its a follow on to my book which is about finding your feet on a path of enchantment, finding your heart and starting to walk within a faery context. (Which, I am very very excited to say, has a publisher interested in it!!! Wheeee!!!)

The Pixie Kiss project, then, is on its ninth week (about keys this time), and I've been sending out weekly emails to people who have signed up which expand on the posts or include other musings on related topics. I'm having a great deal of fun with it all! I'm also feeling very proud of myself since I've managed to keep on schedule for 9 weeks and I feel like I'm writing words which I, at least, would like to read :) Its excitign to see where this all ends up...

For anyone interested, then, under the cut is the latest installment to my Pixie Kiss project, with links to the introductory post and the blog wherein it lives... enjoy :)

The last 24 hours have been amazing.

I thank every one of you that has commented, looked and asked me for a copy of my book.

Especially those of you who want to own a copy.

I am, as I say, overwhelmed.

I am overflowing with gratitude. Gratitude for my friends, for the people around me who have and continue to support me, for the people who give me funny looks when I talk about Faeries and love me anyway (or even because of it). Gratitude for the excitement other people are sharing with me over this.

It is a wonderful thing to build bridges of joy, and I can see them growing up with every digital connection we make.

 

The worlds we build online are as real as those that we walk in, sleep in, love in. The worlds we can touch and feel and hear and see and smell, extend through our bodies, through the wires of the interconnecting-web, through our hearts and our words.

 

We build worlds of love and joy, we weave the worlds of Fey closer with every choice made in love and in alignment with our hearts.

 

I have seven people who have ordered one of the 13.

6 remain to find homes.

 

Email me if you would like to be part of this adventure as it takes to the skies!

And thank you. Thank you all very very much.

 

Watch here for further posts keeping you updated and sharing the joy!

With absolute pleasure I can now share that my book is completely and utterly finished!

I've spent most of the past year working on it and now that it is done it feels like I am full of the softest clouds, all gently and unstoppably rising. I have had a copy printed for myself, and I am incredibly excited to see how it looks when it arrives!

Here is the cover:

Faery Heart Book Cover Image

Finding the Fey within and without, the
heart of our hearts, and the Beginning
of the FeyHearted Path.

 

Here is the description I've inscribed on the dust jacket  inside the front cover:

Fey Ones!
You of the wildest
hearts!
You of the sacred
glades!
You dancers,
enchanters,
lovers!
Fey ones!
May we dance through
the world together!


Are you Enchanted?
Have you been touched by the heart of the wild
and wonderous world?
Those that are feykissed feel it in their
bones... tell me, is your heart Fey?


The Faery Heart outlines the beginnings
of the path to knowing, accepting and expressing your Fey
heart, for those who are enchanted by the heart
of nature, by The Fey themselves, those who
are both Enchanted and
Enchanting.

 

And now it is time to let my book fly into the world... to take on a life of its own in other's hands, and minds, and hearts. A book is a living thing, and a book on something as untamed as the Fey and our own deep hearts is liable to take on a life of its own. With that in mind, and in honour of the Faery Queen, who has guided my hands as I crafted this small fey creature, containing hopes and dreams, words from other worlds, the story of how the world became, glimpses of the Fey realms and the beginnings of a map to guide you into your own Fey-Heartedness, I will have printed 13 hardback copies which I will sign and number just for you.

 

13 special copies of this magical book... because I would like the people who give it a home to treasure it, and to treasure their own path.

13 special copies of this treasure trove.

 

If you would like a signed, numbered, very, very limited edition hardback copy of this Fey book, please contact me.

 

The high cost of printing means that I will only have them printed once I have payment for all 13 copies, and I ask, please, for £25 per book, which includes shipping the book to you. £25 is close to cost price for these books, so if you would like to sponsor this project and you can afford to give more for your copy, then by all means, please do. Each person who buys one of these thirteen will get a special mention in any further editions (though there will be no more hardcovers) and every person that can offer a little more will have an extra gift with their book, as a thank you for your support.

 

If you would like to preorder a limited edition, signed and numbered hardback copy of The Faery Heart please email me at: Haloquin (at) googlemail (dot) com. Once I have payment for 13 copies I will contact all those who have preordered one and let you know how long your Fey-Book will take to find its way into your loving arms!

 

This is both the end of a long project, and the beginning of an adventure, thank you for being here with me!

Please signal boost, if you are so inclined :)

Thank you.

Happy thoughts and Pixie Dust,

I'm starting a new Feyhearted Zine! If the Fey speak to you in any way, please consider submitting!

The Manifesto:

We believe in the wonder of the worlds.

We believe in joy and delight.

We recognise that the world is often full of danger, and that this does not diminish its beauty.

We see feyness in each heart, and are touched by the faeries.

We honour the Wild within and without, and we care for our world.

We pledge to live life as fully as we can.

We choose to share our Delight in the world!
