Two Thousand Years, her debut novel from The Parliament House, was one of Wattpad’s 2016 Watty Award winners for excellence in digital storytelling. She has since released its three sequel novels and four companion novellas, as well as numerous other contributions to various published anthologies. She was recruited to participate in Wattpad Paid Stories program for serialized authors in March 2019, was invited into the Wattpad Stars program, and since October 2021 has been welcomed as an exclusive Wattpad Creator. She continues to spend her time both as a freelance editor and as a mentor, as well as WriteHive’s Indie Professional-In-Residence, where she hopes to engage, assist, and inspire new writers through their literary journey.
Working as a full-time real estate paralegal, she has her evenings and weekends to pursue her own writing agenda as well as co-own independent publishing house Sword & Silk Books. When she’s not typing furiously at her computer, she enjoys reading fantasy novels, playing video games, listening to BTS, and drinking coffee. She currently lives in Massachusetts with her husband, their daughter, and their corgi Nyx and hamster Oreo.
As a mentor, MB is on the lookout for YA and NA novels heavy in plot with the ability to make her fall in love with its characters. Her favorite tropes include love triangles of all kinds, enemies to lovers, dream sequences, and prophecies. She always wants villains you can’t help but be attracted to, redemption arcs or otherwise. She loves novels with deep character development, a setting where she can get lost, and plot twists that make her want to throw the book across the room. Give her main characters you love to hate, but can’t help but hate to love. Find out more information about mentoring and editing services here.
