About the Author:   smheaton(at)shaw.ca

Susanne Alexander-Heaton grew up in the small village of Miami, Manitoba. It was in this rural setting and through her parents’ guidance at the family farm that Susanne learned the importance of: 1) community and respect for the environment; 2) helping others, especially those less fortunate than herself; 3) having a good sense of humour to help through even the darkest of times.

While being in a wide variety of work settings, Susanne had some life changing wake up calls occur. These events inspired her to start her own company called Motivated by Nature. The ABC Field Guide to Faeries is her first attempt of many future endeavors designed to make a positive impact on the environment and all people.

A rare interview with advice from the Faeries!
“Nature is our temple, our domain, our only home,
So be respectful of nature along any trails you roam.

We exist all around you and can make your wildest dreams come true,
Be kind to Mother Nature and we will shower our magic on you.

We teach about enjoying life more and learning how to play,
If you do just one of these things, you will be well along your way!

We are full of enthusiasm, playfulness and magic,
To not believe in us, would be ultimately very tragic.

Our last request is that you help teach others that indeed we are real. 
The more that people believe in us, the more power we can reveal!”
