~ About the Author ~
Sibylla
Matilde grew up in the mountain valleys of Southwest Montana exploring the
dusty Old West gold country on the back of a horse. She attended a two-room
schoolhouse beginning in 1st grade & had the same teacher until she changed
schools after 7th. Beginning at about age 12, Sibylla discovered historical
romance, feeding off of work of Jude Deveraux & Lisa Kleypas. She loves a
book that can make the reader run the gamut of emotions, from the sweet glow of
new love to gut-wrenching heartache. She is a true romantic & always has
stories floating around in her head, living in a fantasyland until she writes
them down to free them.
Music is her emotional trigger. Growing up with
a Wagnarian-loving mother, Sibylla was raised to treasure music that digs deep
into the psyche, drawing out elation, sorrow, grief, desire. The soundtrack to
her life includes many genres spanning centuries. She looooooooves Thirty
Seconds to Mars (rather obsessively, actually... but, really, how can you NOT
be crazy about this guy!? Jared Leto. Shhh. ) & pimps them out to all her
friends through Spotify. She also delights in Met Opera HD broadcasts at her
local movie theater & hopes (listening Met?) to someday see Diana Damrau
reprise her role as Mozart’s Queen of the Night in Die Zauberflöte.
Sibylla lives with her husband and hero who
saved her from her own calamitous, young-adult self. He makes her laugh daily,
even when things are tough. He's proved to her that love really can heal a shattered
soul. In 18 years, they have never had a fight, although argue regularly with
their two teenage kids who have, unfortunately, inherited their father’s quick
wit (unfortunate as it is a quick wit that Sibylla, herself, definitely does
not possess – there is a reason she is a writer & not a stand-up comedian).
They live a quiet life with their two weird little rescued Chiweenies. Wait…
teenagers & little yap-dogs? OK, maybe not so quiet.
