The Violet Awakening Paperback -

An overactive imagination and open-minded upbringing made for the perfect combination to create the author Styna Lane would eventually become. Raised to believe originality and creativity were the keys to happiness, she was instilled with the knowledge that most of life's boundaries are far more fictional than the Fantasy books in which she secluded herself. Having lived in six different states by the time she was nineteen, Styna is no stranger to the road. After spending the majority of her life chasing her dreams wherever they led her, she was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2010, which confined her to her bed much of the time. Following a small bout of self-loathing, Styna decided she would not let these new boundaries have control over her. She began to utilize her most prevalent childhood trait; her overactive imagination. Styna quickly found that writing the adventures she created in her mind provided her with a total escape from her physical confines. It may not be a coincidence that her debut novel, THE ENERGY ROOM, focuses on a girl who has tremendous powers, but is trapped in a place where she believes she has no control. Styna hopes to bring awareness to Invisible Illnesses, as well as inspire those who may have thought they'd gone on their last adventure.
