Placitas, NM Author Publishes New Book

Southwest Fairies: Shadow Souls, a new book by J. C. Feld, has been released by RoseDog Books.

Southwest Fairies: Shadow Souls is a cloak-and-dagger mystery about the hidden world of fairies (good and evil). The story blends the Native American culture of two Navajo children with another child who resides in the culture of military bases. Their unlikely friendships take them on an unexpected adventure. None were aware of fairies before, and the story introduces them to this world, which includes magical schools, healing centers, pixie dusts, and Skin Walkers.

The shadow souls of one child's mother and grandfather were stolen by an evil fairy from Ireland, named Phookah. Phookah is not familiar with the Southwest fairies, but wants to take control of this one particular fairy village. The children's friendship grows as they try to save the shadow souls through the help of different fairies and Native American healing. All the while they are exposed to the secret world of fairy villages that exist around the world.
