Tilda Booth

Tilda Booth was born in Chicago and persists in the belief that the Cubs will win the World Series in her lifetime. For similar reasons, she also believes in curses, miracles, jinxes, and the eternal optimism of “Wait ‘Til Next Year!” She married her very own international man of mystery — actually an academic whose research nobody understands — and is immersed in the joys, wonders, and befuddlements of raising gorgeous, precocious children in the city.

On an average day, Tilda can be found hunting for wifi in local cafes, creating dairy-laden breakfasts from scratch for her kids (that she’s not allowed to eat herself anymore, darn it) and watching spy shows with her husband. After many years of a stressful corporate life, where she worked on projects ranging from health insurance, auto racing, computer systems, politics, toilets, and patient education, she finally admitted to herself that writing was her life’s passion, and nothing was quite as much fun as penning the perfect happy ending.
