On a warm December day in 1884 the Temptation was leaving Hawaii, as well as the 19th century, on the hunt for its next adventure ...

An adventure with greater stakes, more time-travel tricks and a love story that defies the laws of the universe itself. Heilig could give Dr. Who a run for his money -- Alwyn Hamilton, author of Rebel of the Sands Heilig is an expert storyteller, effortlessly weaving romance, time-travel, adventure, myth, fantasy and history together to make an incredibly exciting, suspenseful, emotional, beautiful story. She captured my imagination yet again and took me on one hell of a ride. I just can't express how incredible this book - this duology - is. It's epic - epic - and I am so, so sad that that's the last of Nix, Kash and the others that we'll see. The Ship Beyond Time is simply perfect. Once Upon A Bookcase

Heidi grew up in Hawaii where she rode horses and raised peacocks, and then she moved to New York City and grew up even more, as one tends to do. Her favorite thing, outside of writing, is travel, and she has haggled for rugs in Morocco, hiked the trails of the Ko'olau Valley, and huddled in a tent in Africa while lions roared in the dark. She holds an MFA from New York University in Musical Theatre Writing, of all things, and she's written books and lyrics for shows including The Time Travelers Convention, Under Construction, and The Hole. She lives in Brooklyn with her husband, her son, and their pet snake, whose wings will likely grow in any day now. Follow Heidi at http://www.heidiheilig.com/ or on Twitter: @heidiheilig
