Blue: a novel
Intrigue, mystery, vivid imagery, fascinating dialogue, and complex characters quickly draw the reader into this "subtle psychological mind-bender."
One insecure perfectionist. One guilt-ridden artist. One child-woman who talks to peacocks. A trio of complex heroines on separate journeys toward a single intertwined truth.
Imagine living exclusively for others and waking up one day with a chance to start over. The terrifying new beginning reeks of abandonment and betrayal. The choice for Seattle resident Monica lingers between now and then... them and her.
Izabel's idyllic existence on Orcas Island is turned upside down during the birth of a friend's child. Suddenly, pain rips through her own body, and life as she knows it shifts, hinting at a forgotten past and propelling her toward an uncertain future.
On another island, young Daisy awakens surrounded by infinite shades of blue. Is she dreaming or has she stepped through the portal into a fantastical land where animals spout philosophy and a gruesome monster plots her destruction?
Blue—a subtle psychological mind-bender where each heroine is her own worst enemy. Eccentric. Lovable. Unforgettable.

About the author
Kayce Stevens Hughlett
7 books22 followersI prefer to read novels in the summer and non-fiction/memoirs in winter.
I prefer writing with a fountain pen over computer keyboards.
I prefer summer in Seattle over winter almost anywhere.
I prefer Paris over Rome. Big dogs over small. Fluffy cats over sleek.
I abhor that the world is filled with suffering, and I know affliction has helped create the individual I am today.
I love music of all kinds, rhythm and movement.
I thrive on new experiences, adore reading, blogging and movies ranging from the romantic to the contemplative.
One of my favorite authors, Anne Lamott, calls laughter “carbonated holiness” and I couldn’t agree more heartily. Belly laughs are manna from heaven and there is also nothing better than a well-timed temper tantrum.
Play time with friends and family is sacred as is quiet space and solitude.
