The worst day of
Lacey Baxter’s life was the day her parents announced their divorce and her
boyfriend Chase Livingston went into a coma. Scratch that. The worst day of her
life was two months later, when he woke up and didn’t recognize her. Now, as he
pushes her away, she clings to the hope that each day will be the day he
remembers how much they love each other. Turning to her new BFF Byron and his
circle of friends, she does whatever she can to cope with the changes. She just
wants to be numb and forget about everything.
The headaches, the panic attacks, the pressure to be this perfect boyfriend are
incredibly hard for Chase to bear. He doesn’t love Lacey, or at least he
doesn’t think he does. Still, he doesn’t understand this strong attraction to
her, or the jealousy he feels over every guy that talks to her. Losing two
years of his memory means strangers think they know him and he’s not sure where
he fits in. Will his memories come back over time or all at once? Should he
even wish for them?
Finding each other again could be harder than either of them thought,
especially when everyone knows their business and has an opinion about it.
Butterfly Kisses ends for Lana with a new start. She and her
mother move to Cincinnati, Ohio to begin new. Unfortunately, that meant in The
Butterfly Migration, Lana isn’t present. She and Lacey video chat and there are
two chapters where they spend a week together, but over all, she’s MIA. It was
a difficult decision to have her and her mother leave and go to another city,
but I decided when I wrote it that way that I would compromise to give her a
novella of her own. That made the
decision little easier and added a level of complexity to the story. There are
people in our lives who come and go; saying goodbye is part of life. Losing her
sister also contributed with Lacey’s downward spiral.
I am still, essentially, eliminating a main character. I mourned
the loss of her as I wrote the story, but the truth of the matter is I can
always bring her back. And after all, I haven’t finished the novella yet or
written Chasing Butterflies. For now her place is in Cincinnati.
I think it’s important to show the development of the broken
relationship between her and her mother, along with the turmoil of having a
long distance relationship. In the novella, Lana will be tested. She will meet
new friends, and make new enemies.
I can’t really tell you much more. You’re going to have to
wait to see when I release it later this year.

Becoming a Butterfly (Book 1)
Sixteen year old
Lacey was never the center of attention, unless she was tripping, stammering,
or being deposited into a pool by the local popular kids. All she wanted was to
fit in, until one night when everything changed.
Jade and Tasha, her two best friends, helped her create an online personality that was everything she wanted to be– and it was only the beginning. In doing so, she attracted the attention of Henry, her lifelong crush and next door neighbor. Unfortunately, it was Farrah, her online personality and not herself, he was interested in.
She also attracted Chase, the brooding, quiet, anti-social new kid of Brownsburg High School, who easily figured out her secret and blackmailed her. They forged a friendship that was both unique and complicated.
Lacey must decide if revealing herself to Henry and her entire school as the cool, charming, and funny Farrah is worth possibly losing him forever. She finds herself needing to make an even harder decision than she ever thought possible. When did the lines between truth and lies get so blurred?
Becoming a Butterfly is a story about coming of age and finding yourself when you never knew you were lost.
