L.A. Nettles is an Army Veteran residing in South Florida with her Corgi, Tofu. She went from writing reports as a Special Agent to writing erotica/romance/poetry. As a single-mom, L.A. realized that divorce is the mother of reinvention, starting over means creating a new you, especially with dating in your 40s. She found modern dating to be like stepping into an alternate comical universe. Her first novel, Butterflies, showcases the hilarious, thought-provoking, and sexually adventurous side of dating after divorce. Sometimes love, romance, and chasing your dreams come mid-life, not just in your youth.

"Until someone's opinion shows up as bank deposits... you don't need to give a f#ck."

It allows you to see a different perspective and update/edit for the benefit of making your story better. Beta Readers/Editors always help improve the story. My friends read my work to encourage me, but I needed unbiased criticism. Having strangers read your 'erotica' is somewhat humorous, because they never edit the 'sex scenes'. (less)

We have a very close relationship that is nonsensical to most of my friends. My daughter tells me 'everything'...from how her vagina feels to how she feels empty. Her mood swings created this unusual dichotomy in our relationship. It is like living with Jekyll/Hyde, and having the patience to understand, as well as help. Our relationship is the basis for my next book. Yes, there are sad days, but so many funny crazy days that seem unreal. As a single mom trying to understand her depression, sexuality, and strong political views... there are many stories to pull from. (less)

“I embrace my weirdness. Some people would rather conform and wear 'normal' like a costume on Halloween. I can't pretend that I'm one-dimensional. We're all weirdos that feel normal when we're grouped with our type of weird.”
L.A. Nettles, Butterflies

“Every divorce is unique like a snowflake. It isn’t just the variations in design but also how it lands before dissolving.”
L.A. Nettles, Butterflies

“When I bake a cake, I can’t just stick it in a cold oven and expect it to become moist and fulfilling. I have to preheat the oven for at least fifteen minutes before the temperature is right. It helps make the cake bake evenly. My vagina is like that oven. It needs to be preheated before placing anything inside.”

“A valuable woman never chases a man. She knows she is ‘the catch.’ Never think less of yourself for wanting more.”
L.A. Nettles, Butterflies

“Emerson… Paris is full of savoir-faire. All your senses will explode from the city’s visual brilliance. But your heart might want something that’s tangible and fulfilling. Once you are thousands of miles away, you’ll realize your journey to self-discovery was never about leaving, but staying.”
L.A. Nettles, Butterflies

“When it comes to dating, I think you are suffering from anal glaucoma. You can’t see your ass with anyone.”
