I'm on Twitter!

I've been so busy with (sadly) non-writing activities that I haven't been able to see straight, never mind officially blog here over the last several months. Strangely enough, I do have time to Tweet. So as of a week ago, I'm on Twitter! YAY!

Feel free to look me up. I'm still settling in there and trying to find my rhythm, but the stuff I talk about is pretty random and quirky.

"Butterfly Tattoo," by Deidre Knight

Deidre Knight's novel, "Butterfly Tattoo," is now available in print! A true inspiration, DK's story about writing it. This was actually her very first written novel, and when she first tried to get it published in 2004, it was rejected more than 30 times by editors for being "too edgy." 

Ouch! That's my worst nightmare, especially regarding edgy, dark material. That's what I'm all about.

So last year she released Butterfly Tattoo as an e-book, and it was such a rousing success that people finally started to wake up about the project. Now, it is ready for our (print) reading enjoyment!

Just when the darkness seems permanent, fate flips a switch.

Michael Warner has been drifting in a numb haze since his lover was killed by a drunk driver. As the anniversary of the wreck approaches, Michael’s grief grows more suffocating. Yet he must find a way through the maze of pain and secrets to live for their troubled young daughter who struggles with guilt that she survived the crash.

Out of the darkness comes a voice, a lifeline he never expected to find—Rebecca O’Neill, a development executive in the studio where Michael works as an electrician.

Rebecca, a former sitcom celebrity left scarred from a crazed fan’s attack, has retreated from the limelight and from life in general, certain no man can ever get past her disfigurement. The instant sparks between her and Michael, who arrives to help her during a power outage, come as a complete surprise—and so does her uncanny bond with his daughter.

For the first time, all three feel compelled to examine their inner and outer scars in the light of love. But trust is hard to come by, especially when you’re not sure what to believe when you look in the mirror. The scars? Or the truth?

Now available in print at Borders, Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Books-A-Million.
