MTAR: Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?
W.B.: I was born and raised in Utah. My family spoiled me rotten because I was the baby – and a big surprise. I have three adorable little ones and the best husband in the world.
MTAR: Can you tell us about your latest release?
W.B.: Waiting Fate is based on the love story between my husband and I –losing and then finding each other years later. It’s also a story about escaping abuse and finding your happily ever after.
MTAR: What inspired you to write your own story?
W.B.: My publisher had an open call for submissions for true love stories. I thought, “Oh! That will be fun!”
MTAR: Is there a message in your novel that you want readers to grasp?
W.B.: Yes! It is this – no one deserves to be abused or mistreated, and even though it’s scary, you can get away. Everyone deserves their happy ever after.
MTAR: What book are you reading now?
W.B.: I’m reading Cassandra Clare’s Clockwork Princess, and I’m hooked! There has been no productivity in my house since I started it.
MTAR: If you were a super hero, what would be your superpower?
W.B.: I could talk people to death! Seriously, it is very hard to get me to stop talking. Ever.
MTAR: What makes you laugh?
W.B.: My kids. The way their little minds work sometimes is hysterical. They aren’t even trying to be funny half the time, which amuses me even more.
MTAR: What would your fans be surprised to know about you?
W.B.: Hmm. Oh! I had an imaginary twin brother growing up. My sisters were pretty much grown up by the time I came along, and I was desperate for family – so I invented a twin brother! We had a lot of great times, he and I!
