Y.I. Washington was born in Dayton, Ohio and is the middle of three children (and only girl). Introduced to Science Fiction by her father and reading by her mother, Yolanda fell in love with the worlds she encountered in books at an early age.
Not content to just read about these exquisite worlds, Yolanda began writing when she was in high school and found the seeds to a dream.
Now, over 30 years later, Yolanda has finally begun to see the harvest of those seeds. A poet and science fiction writer, Yolanda now strives to write the kind of stories that entertain her.
Yolanda now lives in Atlanta, Ga with her husband, three precocious budgies, and loves to knit, practice yoga, watch and read massive amounts of science fiction, fantasy and comic books.
