About Brenda Williamson
I'm Brenda Williamson and this is like... my life's resume! It ain't much but it's about all there is since I use 60-80 hours a week to write. I'm married and have one son. I was born October 31, a long time ago and I like Halloween is on my birthday. It's my favorite holiday.
I'm a full-time writer, when I'm not picking up dishes, dirty laundry, muddy shoes, cooking, washing windows, mowing weeds, & cleaning up everything my husband and son don't. Okay scratch that, I leave the chores for house fairies to do and they're not very good at their job.
When I'm not working on something writing related, I enjoy reading, swimming and watching programs like Survivor, Big Brother, CSI, All the Law & Order shows, Cold Case, Amazing Race, and Monk.
I have a hobby farm full of animals and a house full of cats. Luckily, since my husband and I are in the contracting business, I reaped the benefits of having a huge house to fit all my hobbies including taking in stray felines & collecting books.
I've written for more years than I should say, but lets just say it started in the 1970's and we'll not get into just how old I am. I started out a poet and have had hundreds of poems published in magazines. I dabbled with short stories and non-fiction, yet novels were a lingering attraction.
After the turn of the twenty-first century I aimed my attention at writing longer works. E-publishing gave me leeway in what I wanted to publish and erotic romance became a big word in my house as I reworked old stories to fit the genre.
I love writing stories and with a supportive family, I spend endless hours doing what I love. I believe I have the perfect life... if we don't count I want to be a billionaire.
Some of my publishers include, Samhain Publishing, Red Sage, New Concepts Publishing, Loose-id, Liquid Silver Books, Whiskey Creek Press Torrid, Aspen Mountain Publishing and Mojocastle.
I'm a Pan member of Romance Writers Association and their special interest chapters that include: P.A.S.I.C., Passion Ink, Beau Monde, K.O.D, Hearts Thru History, E.S.P.A.N., Celtic Hearts, RWA Online, F.F.&P., and From The Heart.
I'm also a member of The Authors Guild, Novels, Ink., Author's Den, The Romance Studio, and Historical Romance Club.

An Interview with Brenda Williamson
By Holly Hewson for The Romance Studio
HH: Brenda, thank you for talking with us at TRS. Please tell us about your featured book, A Maiden of Mercy.BW: This story is sort of a medieval "boy next door" plot. He grows up to fly dragons in tournaments and then disappears for years. She pines for him, and is ecstatic when he returns. However, a tragic event has left him scarred and depressed…until he meets up with the beautiful and determined grown up girl he's never forgotten.
HH: This is the second story in your Dragon Fighter Romance series. Where did you get the idea for the series to begin with? BW: It has two of my favorite elements: Dragons and Medieval Knights. I took an aspect of a knights life-tournaments and replaced the use of a use with a dragon.
HH: How does A Maiden of Mercy continue where A Damsel in Distress left off? BW: This is the story of a brother to the hero in A Damsel in Distress. He's not mentioned then, but some characters from A Damsel in Distress are mentioned in A Maiden of Mercy. The stories are actually stand-alone romances. However, characters will crossover between the stories.
HH: What do you like about Juliette and how do you relate to her? BW:
Juliette goes after what she wants. She's smart and intuitive to know Kilburn has feelings for her, and she doesn't let him push her away. I'm a pretty determined person myself when there's something I want.
HH: What do you like best about Kilburn and why might he be perfect for her? BW: He's handsome and heroic and his love for Juliette makes him her perfect mate.
HH: What can you tell us about the books to come in this series? BW: The basis of all the stories surrounds the fictional Dragon Rider's Society where knights ride dragons instead of horses. The main plots are about those knights and the women they fall in love with. Each story introduces a couple new knights, and each story revolves around one. Plots will overlap and intertwine from book to book, bringing back characters and adding new.I'm an early riser and usually sit at my computer after breakfast and write. Almost all my writing is done in the morning. The afternoon is spent on yahoo groups, emails, promotion, edits and anything else I have to do. In between it all, I fit in housework…if I really have to. =)
HH: What else do you have in store for lucky readers? BW: This month I have SAHARA HEAT, a book in the Three Kinds of Wicked series at Red Sage. And I'm currently writing a Steampunk novel.
HH: What would you most like to accomplish this year? BW: To finish remodeling my kitchen! It's taking forever since time is limited. And all the painting and sanding, and painting some more has gobbled up a lot of my writing time.
HH: What are you reading these days? BW: Victorian reference books on gadgets, and historical biographies for some of the the infamous characters in my Steampunk story.
HH: Any exciting plans for the summer? BW: I hope to spend a week in a casino hotel. Husband gambles while I stay locked in my quite room and write.
HH: Thank you!
