Hello, I’m Yawatta Hosby. I reside in the eastern panhandle of West Virginia. I enjoy connecting with other writers through blogging. With a desire to escape every day life, I create short stories, novellas, and novels. I’ve always had a fascination with psychology, so I like to focus on the inner-struggles within my characters. I’m an avid reader, favorite genres: mystery, suspense, horror, and women’s fiction.

My short stories have been featured in The Write Place At the Write Time online journal (2013), When the Lights Go Out anthology (2015), and Don't Open the Door anthology (2019).

If you want to talk about books, friend me on Goodreads. I love to hear from readers! If you want notifications of my new releases, follow me on Bookbub, Pro

I'm always working on multiple projects at the same time (I'm slow at revising). I don't force myself to write unless I'm in the mood because if you're bored, then your readers will be able to tell.

Sometimes I have to stop writing completely for a week or two and go to my other hobbies of drawing, listening to music (playing the guitar), and watching TV. Those activities can bring inspiration to a certain story idea that may get me motivated to start a new project or go back to my old project.(less)

I love getting my creativity down on paper, and I love getting away with observing people. Some people look creepy staring, but I look cool LOL. I could get lost in my mind all day, and there's no better feeling.(less)

“No, she's been killing me with kindness." She pointed her finger in his face. "There's a difference, and if you didn't have her on a pedestal, you could tell the difference.”
Yawatta Hosby, Something's Amiss

“Mackenzie flinched. Struggling to breathe, she stood up and walked over to the table.”
Yawatta Hosby, Plenty of Fish

Yawatta Hosby, Something's Amiss

“Are you always a smartass?'

Nope. Sometimes I'm asleep.”
Jim Butcher, Blood Rites

Stephen King

“Good books don't give up all their secrets at once.”
Stephen King
