About the Author:
Sibylla Matilde grew up in the mountain valleys of
Southwest Montana, and grew up exploring the alfalfa fields on the back of a
horse. She attended a two-room
schoolhouse 1st through 6th grade where she had same
teacher the whole time. Beginning at
about age 12, Sibylla discovered historical romance, feeding off of work of
Jude Devereaux, Lisa Kleypas, and Karen Robards. 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 always has stories floating around in her head, living in some
fantasyland until she writes them down to free them. She is a true romantic, a bit of a Pollyanna,
and a deeply emotional soul.
Music is her emotional trigger. Growing up with a Wagnarian-opera-loving
mother, Sibylla grew up with music that digs deep into her soul and pulls out
emotion. The soundtrack to her life
includes different genres and generations.
She looooooooves Thirty Seconds to Mars (rather obsessively, actually) with
a little Kings of Leon to mix things up, and pimps them out regularly to all
her friends through Spotify. She also
enjoys watching Met Opera HD broadcasts at her local movie theater, and hopes
(listening Met?) to someday see Diana Damrau reprise her role as Mozart’s Queen
of the Night in Die Zauberflöte – The Magic Flute.
Sibylla lives with her husband, Mike, a man who she firmly
believes saved her from her self-destructive, hot mess self. He makes her laugh every day, even when
things seem to be falling apart around them, and has proved to her that love
really can heal a shattered soul. In 18
years, they have never had a fight, but 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 and not a stand-up comedian), and live a quiet life
with their two weird little rescued Chiweenies. Wait… teenagers and little
yap-dogs? Okay, maybe not so quiet. J
