Clarissa Hedgestone and the Blood Moon
Reviewed By K.C. Finn for Readers’ Favorite
Clarissa Hedgestone and the Blood Moon is a work of fiction in the fantasy, adventure, and fairytale style fiction sub-genres and was penned by author C. Jill Hefte. The work is intended for the young adult reading audience and forms the opening novel to The Clarissa Hedgestone Chronicles. Our protagonist is the titular Clarissa, a chosen one born to bring back the light of the Human Fairies who have been exiled from Earth to another place far off in the galaxy. Sparking a wild adventure with gorgeous mythology and swatches of atmospheric storytelling, what results is a very engrossing and original fantasy tale that is sure to keep readers on the edge of their seats throughout.
Author C. Jill Hefte has crafted an ethereal and entertaining work of fiction with plenty of stunning visuals, fairy tale stylings, and powerful moments to offer readers. One of the most essential features of this work is the talent the author displays in world-building, through such details as the lore of Human Fairies and their culture, as well as the smaller details of each character, their parlance, and their role in the world itself. The dialogue was also effective, serving to display the unique traits of the characters whilst moving the plot forward in a natural way, and it felt so fitting amidst the darkly regal settings of the story. Overall, I would highly recommend Clarissa Hedgestone and the Blood Moon to fans of immersive fantasy stories, clever plots, crafty characters, and fairy fiction enthusiasts everywhere.
The Secret Life of an Astral Traveler – Luna Star Van Atta
Below is Luna speaking in her own words about Life and Death. It is quite profound and you may purchase her book on Amazon.
Leaving my physical body behind during two spontaneous out-of-body experiences as well as a Near Death Experience, taught me a valuable lesson; I am not my physical body, I am an energetic sphere of light that is filled with the energy of the Creator.
Astral travel and Remote Viewing are my life. I spend as much time as possible in the etheric realms communicating with spirits and with the Creator. This is where I find true happiness and purity, no manipulations, no falsehoods, no disease, no emotional turmoil; only pure, unadulterated reality.
My book is written to help others realize that no matter how difficult it is living in the three-dimensional world, there is another choice. Anyone can take a vacation from this material existence and travel to the other side of the veil.

Aoife has also performed with the Royal Shakespeare Company at the Old Vic, and recently completed a U.K. tour of Goodnight Mister Tom.
After listening to other audio books narrated by Aoife— The Role of the State in Migration Control: The Legitimacy Gap and Moves Towards a Regional Model—I knew she was the one.
I chose Aoife over other actors because I felt Clarissa’s story should be told by a women with a natural Celtic charm to bring alive the magic of Clarissa Hedgestone and the Blood Moon.
