Melissa Lynn Herold

Melissa Lynn Herold is artistically-talented, scientifically-minded, and magically-fascinated, something that manifests in both her fiction and nonfiction. An herbal alchemist, Melissa owns and runs NightBlooming where she blends up herbs and oils that grow real-life fairytale hair and has published two nonfiction books, Rehabilitating Damaged Hair Naturally and Coloring Hair Naturally with Henna & Other Herbs. Melissa's debut into published fiction is the darkly immersive Heaven's Silhouette, her debut novel and the first book in the Iyarri Chronicles. She lives with her husband in a sweeping river valley with their mutinous cats and garden dotted with honeybees.
