Born and raised in Central Indiana, M. L. Lacy settled in Texas during the late 1990s. A military spouse for twenty years, her travels allowed her to experience and enjoy her passion for the Rocky Mountains and the American West. Those encounters are reflected in her stories. Her Chrysalis series began in 2009 with the release of her first novel, Chrysalis – The Awakening (winner of the RebeccaReads 2010 Written Art Award – Science Fiction/Fantasy category), and was followed by Book Two: Chrysalis – Tribulations, in 2010. M.L Lacy’s vivid imagination allows her to create fictional worlds that push established storytelling boundaries. She and her husband, Michael, are the parents of two sons, Christopher and Brent, and the proud grandparents of three lovely granddaughters.

Samuel Woodburn stood quietly in front of the slate board and studied the scroll he held against the symbols drawn on the board. His brow creased in a concern manner as he stepped toward the board and transferred the part of the scroll he held in his right hand to his left, picked up the dust cloth and wiped a small portion off one of the symbols. He stepped back, opened the scroll again, and reviewed the correction.

While taking a break from the Chrysalis series, I have started a new one. Yes, yes, I know. Taking a break means moving away from the computer and relaxing, but that’s not how I roll. Book 1 of my new series is nearing completion and I will post the first chapter in January. Here is a small teaser for your enjoyment.

“Odessa,” his velvet-smooth voice called to her as he stepped out of the opening of the space in front of her. “You’re looking well.”
