What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Butterfly Sisters?
This book is about two sisters–one, a creative, and the other, an academic. It’s inspired by the two sides of me. I am a creative but was raised an academic, and what I found was that it takes both sides of me to fulfill the purpose in my life. I wanted the sisters to learn the same thing. Like a butterfly emerging after transformation, we need the struggle to find our wings.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

The scene where Colton sees Leigh for the first time.
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
I do my best writing at coffee shops and will usually go daily to get my writing done.
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
“Do it anyway.” Whenever I hear myself say, “I can’t,” I tell myself to do it anyway.
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
