Mindy Michele
Mindy Michele is the pen name of authors Michele G. Miller and Mindy Hayes. They both like eating white cheddar popcorn, singing in the car, and going on road trips together. The duo can be found sharing a table at a few book signings each year. They also have a love of romance, anything sweet, great books, and New York.

Michele loves words. Inspiring words, funny words, dirty words, and sad words. All of em. Use them kindly and wisely. Spin stories with them, mend fences with them, and heal with them. Words are powerful and words are forever.

Mindy is the youngest out of six kids and grew up in San Diego, California. After she graduated from Brigham Young University-Idaho, she found her passion for reading and writing.

Ruby’s senior year starts out a bit differently than she’d planned on. Her mom was not supposed to be dead, since the likelihood of dying in a plane crash is one in five million. Guess she had to be a part of the unlucky few. Nobody understands Ruby’s grief.

So she writes this letter, needing some sort of a connection. Somebody that grasps what she is going through, who lost a parent on that exact same flight. Brett Pratt gives her dreams and hopes on paper planes. He gives her a reason to begin looking forward to the future.

Brett’s parents are dead, and his twin sister is spiraling out of control. College applications are coming due, and winter in Pennsylvania is cold and incredibly long. 1993 does him no favors until Ruby Kaminski shows up in his mailbox. Her letter’s intended for Amber, yet her words are meant for him. Ruby’s quirky facts pull him from drowning under the weight of all of his responsibilities.

They also create this dilemma, because with each paper plane sent, their bond grows deeper. He’s falling for this girl. Trouble is, they live on opposite sides of the country. Can there really be a future for them?

A moving pen pal contemporary romance, that is set before cellphones and the internet. Follow these two teens while they navigate childhood’s end, and fall in love through paper planes.

This was heartfelt and genuine, and readers felt themselves being truly enamored by the correspondence between Brett and Ruby.

When Ridley breaks a promise, late night phone calls and one secret rendezvous in the haystacks soon transform into an all-consuming and reckless love.
