On having kids:
Hilary blushed and said there is “No rush!” She continued, “Mike has a huge family and we have four dogs, we’re excited but we’ve only been married 6 or 7 weeks. Plus he’s away all the time. Maybve when he is done.”

On why she wrote her new book, Elixir:
“It wasn’t that I had an epiphany that I need to write a book. It didn’t happen like that. I’d taken a year off traveling a lot to see Mike. I was needing to do something creative, and I had these ideas and started creating all these characters in my head not knowing where the story was gonna go, but knowing I had a strong idea and going with it and I was just writing stuff down and finally my mom told me, ‘why don’t you write a book?'”

On what Elixir is about:
“It’s about a young girl, 17, who has lived in the spotlight her whole life because of her parents. She is a photo journalist and has an exciting life. Her dad goes missing and she makes it her mission to find her dad. And during that time, a mysterious man shows up in her photographs and guides her and leads her. There is a paranormal aspect to it. It was so much fun!”
