Writer, artist, and underwater fire-breather, Heather Rigney likes to make stuff. Stuff with words, stuff with paint, stuff that's pretty, and stuff that's not. Heather's stories reflect a dark, gothic childhood spent in the woods of northern Rhode Island. At the moment, she resides in Pawtuxet Village, RI with a family (both chosen and created) that she adores.

Waking the Merrow (release date: June 9, 2014) was adapted from the short story, Mermaids Are Not Nice, which can be found in the anthology DIVE: A Quartet of Merfolk Tales.

Hunting the Merrow released December 3, 2015

Even through a pandemic, I managed to facilitate the audiobook version of WAKING THE MERROW! I couldn’t be happier! I had the EXTREME pleasure of working with the amazing Haven Powers! Together, the two of us battled through some extreme medical mishaps, mispronunciation miscommunications, and many laughs over the phone and through email. But we did it! Well, I didn’t really do all t

“Naked, tattooed men meandered around, lit torches, congregated in groups, spoke in hushed voices. It was like pictures I had seen on the internet of Comic Con, except no one was wearing a cape. And there were no females. So, yes, it was just like Comic Con.”
Heather Rigney, Waking the Merrow

“She’s a wicked thing. Her mother should have drowned her the day she was born.” I was about to question the likelihood of a drowned merrow, then thought better of it.”
Heather Rigney, Waking the Merrow

Hi Mayda!

Thank you for reaching out and letting me know you will be reading my work! That made my day!

I saw that you like kungfu! Me too! I have always had a crush on Bruce Lee...I even have a sticker of him on my laptop!

Have a wonderful trip with your husband and let me know what you think (bad and good! I need input!)

;)
