Yvonne Durant
Yvonne loves great storytelling, and often brags that her job is one big perk. "I get to do what I know how to do: write, and enjoy great writing, just about every day." What a deal! As the Mysteries & Thrillers newsletter editor, she gets a kick out of twisty and sometimes gruesome storytelling. Because she's naturally nosy, she loves a good memoir. She's also an Audible creator—her memoir, Quite the Contrary, was publshed in 2022. You can subscribe to her Mysteries & Thrillers newsletter here.
