Yvonne Wisdom is of Puerto Rican and Jamaican descent, and is fluent in English, Spanish and E.V.P. She was born in Ceiba, Puerto Rico, where she lived until she was eight. Then she moved to Cuba when her father, a navy man, was stationed in Guantanamo Bay. As a young girl, she loved watching old horror movies with her dad, who somehow managed to ignore her perpetual prodding, "Does he die?"

Yvonne always found herself immersed in the story, unable to stand back and watch as if from a distance. Her sister Eileen often took advantage of this horrific rapture, reaching out from under the couch to grab her ankle. She had the unsettling experience of watching Psycho for the first time while staying at a Bates-like motel. When the family got home, Yvonne decided to take a shower. Suddenly, Eileen yanked back the curtain and attacked her sister with razor-sharp banana.

Yvonne writes dark fantasy and horror stories, grouping them into her own thematic collections. Her first story, "Jack Splat," was written as a tribute to Peter Cushing and his Hammer horror films that she had enjoyed so much as a child.

A self-confessed neat freak, Yvonne lives in Orlando with her son Sebastian. When she's not working, she likes to watch movies ? often foreign or obscure independent films ? that depict the human drama of people in peril. She is looking forward to writing all the time and having the time to enjoy it. She enjoys going to conventions and welcomes people to come up to her for a chat ? you never know, she might turn it into a story.
