Writing as
Yvonne Eve Walus
About Me
You won't believe this, but when I'm not a novelist I'm actually a Doctor of Mathematics. A wife and a mother. Most of all though - I am a writer (in several languages) and I'm determined to make it to the New York Times Top Ten.
Professional stuff: I'm a full member of Crime Writers' Association (CWA) which can be found here. (I blog for them, so check it out here.) I also belong to Romance Writers of New Zealand (RWNZ).
