Yvonne Loveday

Yvonne Loveday was born and raised in Knoxville, Tennessee. She broke out and ran around the country for a decade, but eventually came back. She got a degree in journalism and wrote for local newspapers before settling into public relations for a good, long time. She broke out of that, too.

Her love of all things green began as a youngster when her grandmother let her borrow Organic Gardening and Farming magazines. Together they read regional authors. Granny often said the good old days weren't that good. Yvonne never really believed her. She also said Yvonne should be a writer. Yvonne is just now thinking that might be a possibility.

Live Green or Die Trying is her first work of fiction. When Yvonne isn't writing, she's obsessively knitting, watching cult TV, or reading. She lives with her son, grandson, and three black cats. She really can't explain her obsession with the Sunsphere, Knoxville's relic of a World's Fair that moved on.
