Yvonne grew up in Worcester, MA, in an old stone colonial flanked by woods, where she spent a lot of time wandering around outside, thinking up stories to keep herself occupied. She thinks of her best ideas in February, and loves winter, dim sum, gothic tales, and romantic comedies. She lives in Decatur, GA, with one husband, two children, and two cats.
