AUTHOR
Yvonne is a prolific author who has published more than 33 books for publishing houses that include Routledge, Rutgers, Vernon Press, Springer, University of Kentucky Press, University Press of New England, ABC-Clio, Bloomsbury, and others. Her books include sole-author books as well as edited volumes. Topics include human rights, child maltreatment, women without children, welfare, immigration, sports, homelessness, and a variety of sociologically related issues.
She has edited a series of books on contemporary social issues for Springer, addressing topics such as school shootings, gun control, reproductive healthcare, trauma, war, peace, human rights, globalization, community change, refugees, unaccompanied youth, child maltreatment, and unintentional harm, or iatrogenesis.
Yvonne is expanding her writing career from academic nonfiction into accessible books for a broader readership. She has self-published five books about Santa Claus, as well as a book about preparing a thoughtful exit plan for the end of life.
Her current self-help projects include Muck, which presents life’s difficult transitions as opportunities to cultivate growth rather than remain rooted in toxic relationships, and Divorcing the Devil, which explores the process of divorcing the “devils” within and around us.
She is now bringing her sociological background into fiction, where she can explore complex ideas in more creative and entertaining ways. Her romantasy novel, 12 Days, asks whether true love and soul mates can endure across multiple lifetimes. A sequel, 12 More Days, and a prequel, 6 Months Ago, are currently in development.
Yvonne is excited to create meaningful, thought-provoking work for general readers while continuing to explore the social and emotional questions that have shaped her career. She is a member of the New Hampshire Writers’ Project.
