Meet the Fairy Squadmother.
Fae is for the practical magic. Fang is for the velociraptor. Both are Heather.
Where the name came from
It was not a brand strategy.
It was a sixteen-year-old standing in a kitchen, looking at Heather, and saying, “You're like… our Fairy Squadmother.”
That kid was one of roughly a dozen of her son's friends who moved through Heather's world during their teens and twenties. Some needed a place to land. Some needed dinner. Some needed someone who would tell them the truth without making them feel stupid. A lot of them needed help with the forms, systems, phone calls, and decisions families are somehow expected to explain.
Heather kept showing up. The name stuck.
What it means
The information gap is usually about access, not intelligence.
Some people grow up around lawyers, accountants, and adults who explain a lease before anyone signs it. Some people do not. That asymmetry is costly—and fixable.
The Spellbook Series is the information Heather kept giving out in person, written down so it can reach the person who does not have somebody obvious to ask.
Why “Fang”?
Warm does not mean coddling.
The work respects people enough to give them direct information and trust them to use it. It also calls out the parts of systems that are confusing by design.
The velociraptor part is real. Heather's dino alter ego is Heatherciraptor. Taking the work seriously does not require taking yourself so seriously that you stop being human about it.
The publishing promise
Useful first. Honest about the limits.
Fae & Fang publishes general educational information in plain language. It does not replace individualized advice from a lawyer, tax professional, financial professional, medical professional, benefits administrator, or government agency.
Forms, laws, benefits, and official guidance change. Free field notes identify their review date and link to official sources so readers can verify current details.
