About the Author

As an award-winning author and blogger, I enjoy writing stories that deepen our relationship with God. My passions include prayer, travel, and mission work.

I was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland. My names include wife, mom, grandmother, and child of God. I learned to trust the Lord in all circumstances, even after the death of my son many years ago. Throughout the years, God’s calling led me down many paths, like starting a charity for orphans in other countries and becoming a writer.

How I Started Writing

My writing career started differently than most. I never expected to write professionally. After many years of short-term mission work, I felt God nudging me to write stories from the mission field. I laughed because I thought I was too old and I was not a writer. The nudge would not go away. So, I asked God to speak through my husband if this was really Him and not my imagination. I told none of this to my husband. About a month later, Bill and I sat watching TV, and he looked over at me and asked how my book was coming along? I cried, and he asked what was happening and I told Bill the story, and he responded, “I guess you’re writing a book.”

I wrote my first book called Turning Mountains into Molehills. The book is a memoir of my experiences during those mission trips. I soon learned that there is a lot more than just putting the words on the pages. The hardest part came with the editing process, something I had not expected. As I reread my words over and over, I wanted to give up because it sounded dreadful. But I kept plugging away at the manuscript until it felt ready to submit to a publisher.

My book, Gypsy for God, came about for several reasons. I love to travel and I wanted to try writing a fiction novel, so I thought it would be fun to combine those two items. And since I did not start my writing career until I was in my fifties, I also wanted to show others it is never too late to try something new and we are never too old to be used by God to accomplish His purposes.

This book offers hope to those readers seeking a godly purpose for their lives. A Gypsy for God shows how anyone can transform their lives and their world regardless of their situation or age. We are never too old or too for God to do incredible things for us and through us. And, in these days of increasing turmoil, I think hope is one of our most important messages we can share with the world. Writing took me on an incredible journey and I hope it does not end soon.

Author Interview with Yvonne

Q: What do you hope readers take away from your book?

Yvonne: The story offers hope to those readers seeking a godly purpose for their lives. A Gypsy for God shows how anyone can transform their lives and their world regardless of their situation or age. We are never too old or too far from God to do incredible things for us and through us. And, in these days of increasing turmoil, I think hope is one of our most important messages that we can share with the world.

Q: Would you share something about yourself that most readers wouldn’t know?

Yvonne: I was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and we also lived in Canada before immigrating to the USA. One of the enormous benefits is that I have three passports. I have a British one, an Irish one and an American one. Spending lots of time in Belfast as I grew up, I saw my fair share of bombings and even experienced a small one exploding in the luggage area of a plane we flew from Belfast to London. The plane dropped thousands of feet in a matter of seconds, but we landed safely and everyone was okay, although very scared.

Q: What are you reading now?

Yvonne: I just finished a series calls The Pinecraft Pie Shop by Tricia Goyer and Sherry Grove. It is a set of books set in an Amish community. I’m looking for something new to start but sometimes when I’m actively writing, I don’t read for a time. I like contemporary Christian fiction, so if anyone has a good recommendation, I would love to hear it.

When my husband and I go on long drives, we listen to lots of books on tape together. He usually picks them and he likes crime and spy stories. But we listened to “Killers of the Flower Moon” on a recent drive and I loved it. I can’t wait to see the movie.

Q: What do you like to do when you aren’t writing?

Yvonne: I love spending time with my family. I enjoy seeing my children and my grandchildren and being a part of their lives. They bring me joy. I also love to travel. My husband and I retired a few years ago, so we love getting in the car to take the back roads around this wonderful country. We also try to do at least one international trip a year. I learn so much from traveling and meeting new people. Life is an adventure and we try to live that out.
