Interview!

Hi everyone, I love the blogger Limecello to death, and here's why.  Come check out the outrageous questions she asked me and leave a comment on her blog for the chance to win a signed copy of Beyond the Shadows.

Read the interview here!

New Release

Hi everyone!

The Mammoth Book of Futuristic Romance has hit the shelves! I just finished reading my author copy, and it is a fantastic anthology. It's packed full of action and adventure.

My story, Wasteland was so much fun to write. I've always wanted to do a retelling of a Beauty and the Beast type story, and there's nothing like a Science Fiction Novella to let your imagination run wild.

I hope you enjoy it, and many of the other stories in the anthology. If you read it, let me know what you think.

Happy Reading!

An Update!



Hi everyone,

I'm sorry I have been so busy this last year, and then some.  I'm happy to say, I will have a new story out!  I'm thrilled to be a part of The Mammoth Book of Futuristic Romance. I hope you enjoy my story, Wasteland. For those who have been missing the Realms Beyond books, this story is very similar, though not directly related to my other two books.

Also to consolidate things, I'll be using the blog as my main site and update things here whenever I have news on my romance career.  If you would like to know what else I've been up to, go check out www.kristinbailey.com for more information.

Cheers!

Hiatus for a While

Hi everyone,

I'm so sorry I haven't been able to maintain the blog over this last summer. I'm at a time of transition, and trying to figure out what my next move is going to be.

As you know, I won't be able to continue on with more "Beyond" books. I'm now at peace with that, and putting all of my effort into new and exciting projects including an exciting new romance.

However, I'm not sure what the future is going to hold.

I'm very thankful for all my readers here on the Butterfly Blog. Thanks to everyone for your enthusiasm, support, and comments on the garden pictures. I enjoyed posting for you, and getting to know you. I'm thrilled to have such awesome readers, and hope to bring you more books soon.

Right now, all of my effort and energy is tied up in my family and my new writing projects. More and more, I've found, I just don't have much to say. I'm sorry for that.

I'm glad to announce that come Spring of 2013, I'll be able to launch my new YA career under the name Kristin Bailey. Keep an eye out for The Secret Order of Modern Amusementists. As soon as more details are firmed up about the series, I should have more to share in the future.

In the mean time, I'm writing new books as fast as I can and doing my best to get them out into the world.

Thank you once again,

I hope to see you online again soon.

Happy Reading,

Jess

Sorry for the Time Off

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to let you know I apologize for the delay in blogging. I needed a little break to get some things together over here in Ohio. The good news is, the garden is in bloom and I have some great pictures to share. This weekend, I'll put together a big post of pictures and start the new butterfly count for the season.

Sorry again for dropping off for a while, but I'm back and ready to blog.

Autism Awareness

Hi everyone,

Today is Autism awareness day, and I just wanted to take a moment to recognize the parents and loved ones of children affected by this wide-ranging disorder. Having a child with special medical circumstances is a surreal path to be on. Filled alternately with joy and frustration, triumph and tears, it is not an easy road to walk, but it's one you have to manage as best you can.

So, for Autism awareness day, please think twice before judging mothers with their children in public. Not every tantrum is a spoiled child. If you see someone struggling with their kids, offer to open a door or carry a bag. Little things can help a lot.

That's my PSA for the day.
