*There is one bleeped word (su!c!de) in this interview* Hello Happy People,
If you love a well written story with relatable characters, a little romance, a little magical realism and paranormal encounters that are actually inspired by real star-crossed lovers ... have I got a new author for you!
Heidi McIntyre is a self-proclaimed late bloomer. She put off marriage until her mid-forties and didn’t start writing creatively until a few years later. A career path she was inspired to pursue by a professor who convinced her to change her field of study to English.
It was this change that caused a spark in her to become a published author — a dream she finally realized in February of 2023 with her debut novel Sea Magic. While she admits this passion was slow to ignite in her, she has never let that fire die out since.
Find out more from the author herself about her book, career, and her author coaching. Don't wait, go listen now.
