Who is Heather Fox?
My name is Heather Fox, and I’m an author from New York. Lost Heart of Erythia is my debut novel, a story that’s been five years in the making and holds a big piece of my heart. I share my home with five cats who think they run the place, a weenie dog who’s small but full of personality (he’s convinced he’s the boss), and my husband, whom I married in July 2025.
Writing has always been more than just a hobby for me. It’s a comfort, a way to breathe through the hard days and make sense of the world around me. When I’m not writing, I love creating digital art or soaking in the cozy magic of fall, my favorite season that I truly wish could last all year long.

Mini-Interview w/ Heather Fox
- Give us an example of a life experience that inspired your writing.
So, for a long time I was dealing with really heavy depression. The kind that sits on your chest and makes everything feel too loud and too quiet at the same time. I never knew how to say what I was feeling, not out loud anyway. Then one day, a close friend casually told me I should try writing. Just to escape for a bit. Just to give myself a world that didn’t hurt. So I tried and it was the first thing that actually made me feel okay. Writing became this safe place where I could finally breathe.
2. What’s one thing people wouldn’t know about you until you told them?
Honestly people are always surprised when I tell them I’m actually really sensitive. I come off put-together or calm, but in reality I feel everything way too deeply. Books, music, people, moments. I carry things longer than I should, but I think that’s why I love writing. It gives all those feelings somewhere to go. I cry during every single movie and book I read.
3. What’s your biggest accomplishment in your writing career?
Hmm… I’d say actually letting people read my work. That might sound small, but it took everything in me to share stories I kept hidden for so long. Hitting “publish” or sending a chapter to someone felt like handing them a piece of my heart. So yeah, finally letting my words be seen is the accomplishment I’m proudest of. My book isn’t doing so well with engagement at the moment but it makes me proud to have it in my hands.
4. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?
There’s this place I haven’t found yet. A huge secluded waterfall somewhere deep in the middle of nowhere. I don’t know where it is, but I feel like I’ll know it when I see it. I want to sit there with nothing but the sound of water and the feeling of being small in a really comforting way.
5. How do you relax when life gets overwhelming?
When everything starts to pile up, I pretty much retreat into my little comfort bubble. I have five cats and a weenie dog who all act like tiny emotional support creatures, whether I asked for it or not. I make myself an iced coffee, put something mindless or cozy on Netflix, and just let myself exist for a bit. Nothing fancy, nothing deep. Just me, my animals, my drink, and a few quiet hours to reset.
