Hello beautiful human!

I'm Jayelle. It's nice to meet you. I write from my heart and life experiences. As a survivor of childhood abuse, physical, psychological, and sexual, understanding the healing process and the effects of trauma is a puzzle I've been working on. Abuse followed me into adulthood in all of its merciless forms. None of this abuse came from any family member, thankfully.

Understanding myself and the crazy decisions I made in my past were the motivators for writing Breaking Fancy. I couldn't afford therapy. So, I started writing. It has been the most healing thing I've ever done. I didn't want to explain what abuse was, or why abused people make unusual choices. I wanted to put you in the mind of an abused person. Lexi Ember. For us, everything makes sense at the time, even if the people around us don't understand it.

Sometimes we're criticized. But we can only relate to the world through our own traumatized eyes. You may not understand Lexi at first. But you will. I love you for being with her, and me, on this journey. My goal was to tell an interesting, entertaining story while promoting healthy intimacy, courage, and healing. Love is always possible. Everything heals. Remember that.

I am a native of Colorado, and live in the beautiful foothills, seeking romantic inspiration from the mountains and sunsets. My greatest happiness is finally finding real love with the man who became my husband. A man who had the patience to help me heal. You'll see pieces of him in all the men Lexi is attracted to. He's strong, protective, loving, spiritual, beautiful, a little cranky at times, and my teacher. I love his flaws and his perfections.

If you need help, please reach out to someone. If you can afford therapy, get it. If you can write, write it. Or paint it, sculpt it, draw it. Find a healing outlet, whatever it may be. Your inner Lexi will thank you. Remember, everything heals. You are strong enough to handle this. Breathe, center, and live. Oceans of love to you on your own journey.
