The Story Behind the Story: Butterfly Serenade

Warning: Language As writers, I think we often borrow inspiration from various creative sources, such as other books, television shows, movies, photographs, works of art, etc. In the case of Butterfly Serenade, the thing that created the initial spark for the story was my reading of Debra Anastasia’s Poughkeepsie. In her book, there is a scene in which one of the female leads strips naked and dances seductively and with abandon for her hero. However, he doesn’t make love to her in that particular moment, and instead, helps her get dressed afterward. It was a sweet scene that stuck with me and gradually began to take on a different, and somewhat darker, form in my mind’s eye. |

There are no size markings on it, but I’m pretty sure it’s 24 oz. It has a blue cap with silicone insert that makes it leak-proof and the infuser core for your fruits, veggies, or herbs. It also comes with a cute pink swan cup holder floatie for poolside fun.
