What if your art could come alive?
Nyomi Boones never asked for magic. She just wanted to draw. But when her sketches begin springing from the page in bursts of glowing light-starting with a butterfly that flutters into reality-her world transforms forever.
Torn between her parents' dreams of a practical, stable future and the extraordinary gift she can't ignore, Nyomi faces an impossible choice: hide who she really is, or embrace the magic that makes her different.
With the help of Callie, her free-spirited best friend who keeps her grounded with laughter and loyalty, and Thomas, a guide who understands the delicate balance between creation and control, Nyomi begins to navigate her new reality. But as her abilities surge beyond her control, the stakes get higher. Her gift could bring beauty to the world-or spiral into chaos.
The Butterfly Touch is a story about:
- Finding the courage to be yourself
- The power of true friendship
- Learning that what makes you different makes you extraordinary
- Discovering that magic isn't something to fear-it's something to embrace
Perfect for fans of creative magic systems, coming-of-age stories, and characters who dare to be different.
Your art is your power. Your choice is your freedom.
Bones, Hector L.: -
I'm a storyteller, a married father of three, and someone who believes that the best stories are hidden in the everyday moments of life.
My writing journey began in the most beautiful way-at bedtime, with three eager faces waiting for "just one more story." As a father of two girls and one boy, I found myself weaving tales from our daily adventures, turning ordinary moments into magical worlds. Those bedtime stories, inspired by my children's wonder and questions, became something extraordinary. They became *The Butterfly Touch*, *The Blooming Shadows*, *Mirrors of Aevoria*, and three more worlds waiting to be explored.
None of this would be possible without my wife, whose unwavering support and belief in these stories gave me the courage to share them beyond our home. She's been my partner in this journey, encouraging me to take the leap from family storyteller to published author. Her support allows me to pursue this passion while balancing my career and our busy family life.
By day, I'm a Senior Cybersecurity Engineer and a retired Chief Warrant Officer 3 from the US Army Reserves. I've spent years protecting systems, leading teams, and solving complex problems. But my most important mission is showing my children-and readers like them-that they are capable of extraordinary things.
My books are young adult fantasy filled with adventure, growth, and the magic of discovering who you're meant to be. Every story I write is inspired by real life: the questions my kids ask, the challenges they face, the dreams they share, and the everyday moments we treasure as a family. I write to inspire them, to help them see their potential, and to remind them that courage, kindness, and curiosity can transform the world.
Since publishing my first book in November 2024, I've released six novels, each one a love letter to young readers standing on the edge of their own adventures. Whether facing shadows, discovering mirrors to other worlds, or skipping stones across mysterious lakes, my characters learn what my children teach me every day: that growing up is the greatest adventure of all.
To my three children: you are my inspiration. To my wife: you are my foundation. To my readers: thank you for joining our family on this journey. I can't wait to share what comes next.
