My actual name is Billie Bookwalter. Since my name is long and sort of confusing for people when they first read it, I chose to use B.B. Walter as my pen name. So, it's really my name, but not, too! I was born and raised in a rural southern Indiana town until I met and fell in love with the most devilishly handsome man in the world. My Zachary whisked me away to a quaint town in Illinois where we've been living happily with our two dogs, Tweakers and Widget, for the last 9 years.

Always an avid reader (thanks Beck!), I've only been writing since the 6th grade (and, let me tell you, those are interesting stories to go back and reread for sheer humility factor) My passion has always been for the worlds that other's could see, and I just decided one day that I would squint my eyes and tilt my head until I could see all those wonderful worlds, too! And it turned out to be kismet; finally my world clicked into place and I knew my part in it. My hobbies are books (whether or not I've written them) and spending time with good friends (whether or not that be over a good cooked meal or rabble-rousing on stage at badly sang, but always entertaining, karaoke). I also enjoy taking the time to let a good movie (or some really bad but funny ones) whisk me away.
