Backwoods, barefoot, and bad-ass—those are just a few words often used to describe the HBIC that is also the classy and brilliant Silla Webb. Born and raised in the coal fields of Eastern Kentucky, Silla is the epitome of a Southern Belle, sass and strength with a side of sarcasm. All of her amazing attributes bleed through in the fictional heroines she brings to life beyond the pages. Silla, a sweet tea and cupcake lover, is married to her high school sweetheart and a mother to three fine young men. I’m not saying Silla is Superwoman, but they’ve never been seen in the same room together. Silla is the owner of Masque of the Red Pen, an independent publishing company that prides itself in bringing authors’ dreams of success to fruition. She’s an Executive Assistant and Editor to many amazing authors, but she often hides away from reality to immerse herself in the fictional worlds that consume her mind and earned her the title, USA Today Bestselling Author.
