Chrysalis
Nine Characters + One Butterfly = Chaos Theory.
In Chrysalis, the first book in the If a Butterfly series, nine people embark on a variety of odd journeys. Some of the journeys involve actually traveling from point to point, while other treks are of the psychological variety. These individuals are just trying to live their lives, and a Monarch butterfly is just trying to fly from Canada to Mexico during its annual epic migration. When its flight is accidentally interrupted by two of those people, that interaction will ultimately alter the lives and goals of all nine individuals. The butterfly’s goal could be hindered as well. She needs to make it from Canada to Mexico in one piece, but it’s a monstrously long distance for a creature who weighs less than a gram. Will this chance encounter with humans alter her path enough to place her in danger?

About the author
Michael Sirois
8 books43 followersMichael Sirois was reading by the age of four, and writing stories by the third grade. In high school he fell in love with acting, and added that to his repertoire. After college, armed with English and Drama degrees, he taught writing, drama, and technology in the middle school trenches for two decades, but continued to act and write. One of his stories, Loonie Louie, placed in the top hundred of the 1989 Writer's Digest Short Story contest. The 1990's saw his one-act play, Baum in Limbo, produced in Houston. His screenplay, An Ordinary Day, survived the first round of cuts in the 2005 season of Project Greenlight, beating out over 5,000 other scripts. An excerpt from his first novel, If a Butterfly, was featured in Rice University's 2006 Writer's Gallery. If a Butterfly is slated to be published in mid-2021 in two parts. After running educational outreach programs at Rice University for an additional seven years, Michael retired, and lives with his wife, Minay, in a suburb of Houston, where he is hard at work on a fourth novel, The Hawthorn's Sting (another thriller), and a mystery/thriller, Murder Between Friends, hoping to have a first draft of one of them by late-2021. Ideas for a few more are also floating around in that scary place called his brain. Stay tuned.
