Heidi Skarie's life as a writer began when she had a dramatic dream about a futuristic world at war. The vivid dream was like watching an action/adventure movie. Excited about the dream, she recorded it upon awakening. That night the dream continued where it left off. After six nights, Heidi had a hundred-page journal recording the series of dreams. This awakened her interest in writing, which continues to be one of her greatest passions today. Heidi writes adventurous tales of well-developed characters in this world and imaginary futuristic ones. Red Willow's Quest (her first published book) tells the story of a young Shoshoni maiden who undertakes a dangerous quest to become a medicine woman. This book's extensive research effectively brings to life the Native American people of the 1800s. The Bloomsbury Review said of Red Willow's Quest: "Heidi Skarie displays a talent for mystical and spiritual writing . . . I enjoyed Red Willow's Quest from beginning to end." Colorado Libraries said: "The Story is well written and rings true. Ms. Skarie has a wonderful voice for the character and obviously has extensive knowledge about the life and customs of the Shoshoni tribe." Heidi has developed a futuristic science-fiction series with romantic elements and strong characters. She also specializes in historical creative nonfiction. Heidi enjoyed hearing from her readers.
