Butterflywas born from my own love for the exquisite winged creatures. They’ve always had a special place in my heart. When I was little, my sister and I found a caterpillar and we watched it hatch into a beautiful Monarch butterfly. We named him Buddy and he is the inspiration for Sofi’s Buddy. He lived in our house beyond his life expectation, gnawing on flowers my mom left on the kitchen table. Once he got stuck behind the refrigerator. My sister and I were hysterical and my mom had to call the repairman to move the fridge. When he died, we were heartbroken, but he’s always lived in my heart.
As an adult, I had the experience of rescuing a Yellow Swallowtail, who was trapped in a spider’s web and being attacked by a menacing bumblebee. It was horrifying. Deathly afraid of bees, I found a stick and worked up the courage to free the butterfly. As it flew off, I said to myself fate is not a fait accompli. Magically, my own fate changed that day, and after a bout of debilitating unemployment, I was offered my dream job in television production. The rest is history.
And magically, in the middle of writing this book, there was a mass migration of butterflies in Los Angeles. I sat at my computer typing away while outside my window butterflies were dancing everywhere. It was a spectacular sight to behold.
I’ve created a Butterfly Pinterest board. I encourage you to visit it as it will bring many elements of the book alive and enable you to see more of the inspiration for Sofi and Roman’s love story. Here’s the link:
A lot of research went into this book, learning about various butterfly species. There are many online articles available if you want to learn more about them. And if you ever have the chance to go to a butterfly conservatory, don’t miss it. It’s a magical experience. I’ve been to both the one at NYC’s American Museum of Natural History and LA’s Museum of Natural History. If you’re lucky, a butterfly will land on you! And you may just see a Luna!
They say butterflies are magical and I believe that. I would love to hear your stories of how a butterfly touched your life. Send them me to at [email protected]. I can’t wait to read them! Even if you don’t have a story, feel free to drop me a line. I LOVE to hear from my readers and always personally respond.

I’m including the first two chapters of Trainwreck. Like Butterfly, it’s a steamy romantic suspense with an alpha hero and sassy heroine. And a twist you won’t see coming. I promise you will fall in love with Sarah and Ari!
Until my next book, wishing you all good health and lots of love. Always remember, you are the reason I write.
With all my love and appreciation . . .
MWAH! ~ Nelle ♥
