The Butterfly Memoirs: A different approach
to storytelling
My journey to become an author started with
my love of reading. But I felt there was something lacking it my favorite
books. Sure there was the happily ever after and the couple was attractive and
fell in love, what was lacking?
For me, it was being able to truly relate
to the characters. The story of the uber-rich millionaire who falls madly in
love with the help – the assistant, maid, daughter of the maid, fill-in-the-blank
– never interested me. I mean really, there’s enough of that on daytime soap
operas! I quit watching those years ago. Whatever happened to the everyday,
hardworking man who sweats, gets dirty, yet knows how to handle the woman of
his dreams? What about the woman who isn’t looking for a man to take care of
her because she’s holding down her own?
I wanted stories that dealt with more than just the issues that hindered
the characters on the outside. I wanted to see what happened on the inside. What really makes the characters tick? What motivates them to keep
going even when it seems things will never work out? What conflicts threaten to
derail all of their hard work? What qualities would make them risk it all and
give into love they never knew they wanted?
From this, The Butterfly Memoirs were born.
The first novel in the series, A Heart Not Easily Broken, follows the
lives of Ebony Campbell and Brian Young. Complete opposites, they share one
thing in common: their love of hard work and determination to reach their
dreams. When unexpected attraction leads
to more, they must overcome the issue of racial differences thrown at them from
friends and family. But what is more, when Ebony hides a secret from Brian for
fear of losing not only him, but her best friend as well, a future that seemed
so bright is filled with bad decisions and the ultimate betrayal.
Topics such as family, friendship,
betrayal, interracial relationships, and a women’s right to choose are a few of
the themes addressed in this story. If you’re looking for a book that grips you
from page one and carries you on an emotional roller coaster, this book is for
you!
Ebony is a smart, sexy, career-oriented
black woman who wants nothing more than a summer fling with a man who
challenges her mind and body. What she doesn’t expect is a blond-haired,
blue-eyed bass player—who won’t take “no” for an answer—to accept the
challenge.
When Ebony’s attempt at a brief fling turns
into more, despite negative reactions from friends and family, she finds
juggling love, family, and career are nothing compared to the ultimate betrayal
she endures. Now her dreams spiral into lies and secrets that threaten her
future and her best friend’s trust.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
M.J. Kane stumbled into writing. An avid
reader, this stay at home mom never lost the overactive imagination of an only
child. As an adult she made up stories, though never shared them, to keep
herself entertained. It wasn’t until surviving a traumatic medical incident in
2006 that she found a reason to let the characters inhabiting her imagination
free. Upon the suggestion of her
husband, she commandeered his laptop and allowed the characters to take life.
It was that, or look over her shoulder for men caring a purple strait jacket.
And the rest, as they say, is history.
No longer a television addict, if M.J.
isn’t reading a book by one of her favorite authors, she’s battling with her
creative muse to balance writing and being a wife and mother. She resides in
the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia with her high school sweetheart, four wonderful
children, and two pit bulls. MJ can often be found hanging out at the local
library where she is director of a local writer’s group, or online connecting
with readers and other authors. Other activities she enjoys include: creating
custom floral arrangements, assisting her children in their creative pursuits
of music and art, and supporting her husband’s music production business, 3D
Sounds.
MJ’s debut novel, A Heart Not Easily Broken, Book one of the Butterfly Memoirs,
became an instant Amazon Bestseller in Multicultural Romance and
African-American Literature and Fiction within hours of publication. It has
also spent time on the African-American Women’s Fiction and African-American
Romance Bestsellers lists.
You can find MJ on social networking
sites, sharing writing tips, talking about music, life, and family. She’s
always excited to meet new people. Connect with her via the websites
