My name is Melody Daniel Luna and I am a storyteller. I write fantasy and fairy tales and am the author of The Sun and Moon Saga. I also write songs and am the lead singer of the chamber pop band, Ghost of a Girl. And I am my own illustrator!

In New-Camelot, where only the upperclass folkians have the right to practise magic, Aurora Green is known as ‘the Mundane Princess’. A misfit among royalty, Aurora often escapes the castle to hide out in the Greenlandian Forest. After Suns of thinking she was alone in her familiar glade, she discovers unfamiliar boot prints in the dirt. Someone has been there with her: Zale Castaway, an illegal rebel warlock. Not wanting to return to the monarchy, Aurora allows Zale to lead her back to the Lunar Coven. In the safety of the coven’s hideout, over one-hundred feet underground, for the first time in her life, Aurora is able to access her powers.

A fisherman longs for a mermaid… but not to catch and deliver to the Greenlandian King and Queen, as he has countless times before. When Princess Artemis saves Sir Jeremy from drowning in her sisters’ ‘siren song spell’, Jeremy can’t help but fall for the mermaid. Jeremy makes a deal with Zillah, a solitary rebel witch who lives off in the Greenlandian Forest.The fisherman will receive his own merfolkian tail—so long as he retrieves for Zillah the Merfolkian Queen’s sacred seashell locket. If, however, Jeremy fails, his body will turn to sand and his soul will belong to the witch. In this dark but whimsical retelling of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid, our characters learn that not all wishes are worth fulfilling.

As a child, I dreamed of writing books—and illustrating them too! Well, I’ve finally taken the plunge and decided to teach myself how to draw. I’m still a beginner, but I’m having so much fun bringing New-Camelot (the setting of The Sun and Moon Saga) to life through a new medium.
