Meet the Characters of The Voodoo Butterfly Series
I love writing villains in my Voodoo Butterfly Series! The evil characters are very fun to write because I love a charismatic villain (Hannibal Lecter, for example). My villain is based on the real serial killer from New Orleans, Madame LaLaurie. It’s morbidly fascinating to do research about her and female serial killers like her (EX: Elizabeth Bathory, etc.). Apparently I am not the only one who researches this murder-y stuff because true crime podcasts, like My Favorite Murder, are “killing it” (I couldn’t help myself).
The hardest character for me to write has been the main character, Sophie Nouveau. She has been emotionally hard for me to write, because I put so much heart and soul into her. I try to make all of my characters multidimensional, so I dig into their desires, fears, etc. I love that Ghandi quote, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” Sophie represents my vision of how a world can change for the better. That’s a complicated and challenging vision to put on the page within one character.
Taj, one of Sophie’s love interests, unexpectedly leaves the country amidst confusing reasons and shady details in book 2. So Sophie up and goes after Taj (in book 3) in order to demand answers. He lives in Malaysia, which is a nod to my husband’s home country. Before this series, Sophie would have never left the comfort of her home yet she flies halfway around the world, experiences culture shock, and has to figure out what’s been plaguing Taj (be it natural or supernatural).

When twenty-five-year old Sophie Nouveau inherits her grandmother's voodoo shop she knows nothing about voodoo. Or her family's history of Mind Changers, who have the power to change evil people to good. To complicate matters, someone doesn't want Sophie in New Orleans and sends a series of death threats to scare her away from her new enchanted life.
Tipped off by her grandmother's ghost, Sophie realizes her mind-changing spell's been missing one magic ingredient: true love. If Sophie cannot experience transformative love, she cannot make her spell work, and she will be powerless to fight back when confronted by the one who wants her dead.
