Me!!!

A proud inhabitant of the breathtaking state of Victoria, Australia. I am honoured to share my life with my charming husband, with whom I have been fortunate to share numerous blissful years, as well as my two lovely adult children, a pigeon pair.

Writing has been my lifelong passion, but I was apprehensive
to pursue it until my forties. After enduring tedious years working in a dreary
sales and newspaper advertising job, I mustered the courage to make a
life-changing decision. I yearned to follow my heart and immerse myself in
something that truly set my soul on fire.

History...

After writing three books and submitting them to over 30 online publishers, my break came when I was accepted by Solstice Publishing. I poured my heart and soul into my craft, and in September of 2011, I became an exclusive author for Siren BookStrand,
writing under the pen name Becca Van. Since then, I have been blessed to pen well
over 100 books, mostly in the captivating ménage genre.

Passion...

My passion for writing has allowed me to create several exciting series with Siren BookStrand, including thrilling western, cowboy, and contemporary ménage tales, enthralling paranormal shape-shifting stories, and captivating werewolf adventures. I am thrilled to share my standalone stories with you as well.

Learning the ropes...

I am always striving to improve my writing, and I am grateful to the incredible editing team at Siren BookStrand for helping me hone my craft over the last 10+ years.

A New Adventure...

The beginning of this new journey, we are now in 2023, time for the next evolution in my
writing. I am returning to Becky Wilde, writing more freely and hopefully able to extend my creativity in my writing, not being constrained within the rules of a publisher. To that end, I have decided to start my publishing entity, Whimsical Words Publishing.

For now, I will be selling and promoting my books, intending to diversify into other genres. Who knows where this will ultimately take me?

My ultimate goal is to take you on a literary journey that will leave you spellbound, eagerly anticipating the next chapter. Thank you for allowing me to share my passion with you.

I love to write erotic romance and have so many stories rattling around in my head I can’t get them out onto my laptop monitor fast enough. I have written in many sub-genre, including Erotic Romance, Paranormal, Shape Shifters, Werewolves, Contemporary, Western, Cowboy, Time Travel, Historical, Science Fiction, Fantasy, as well as Futuristic. You get the idea, anything is possible.

The Process...

I usually plot out my character first, by age, height, looks, etc, I pick a location on Google Maps. Then I write. I usually just let my fingers flow over my laptop and let the story develop. I may have an idea of how a story will go, but then I find myself heading in a completely different direction than I thought. My characters tend to lead me where they
want to go, and I just let my fingers tap away.

I do try and edit my work, but find my brain reads what it wants to and since I had no idea what to do in the editing department until I started to work with Siren Bookstrand. I have learned a lot and have also greatly improved my writing style as I worked with the wonderful people at Siren.

Now it’s time to do it all myself, on my terms. To do so I have again recruited my hubby to perform several kinds of miracles, and together we have started to publish for ourselves on the “Whimsical Words Publishing" Website. I truly hope you enjoy my new books.

More content will be added to my website as I progress and I look forward to hearing from you all.

I may take a few days to reply; but reply I will.

Love Becky Wilde
