Living a Triple Life

Yvonne Eve Walus of Auckland, New Zealand, is leading a triple life: that as a mother of two preschoolers, that as a marketing director for a robotic company and that as a writer. 's8220;This year will see the release of two short story collections of mine, as well as one collection of poems,'s8221; says Yvonne. 's8220;I's8217;ve also had success in the crime circles: one of my short murder mysteries appeared in a prestigious Crime Writers Association anthology, and another will be published by Echelon Press in September this year. So far, 2006 is proving to be good, if busy.'s8221;



Yvonne is living proof that there is no such excuse as 's8220;not enough time's8221;. 's8220;If you want to follow your dream, you will do it between midnight and three a.m. if that's8217;s what it takes,'s8221; she says.



Yvonne was born in Communist Poland and spent her teenage years in Apartheid South Africa. 's8220;I used my culturally diverse background in my writing,'s8221; she says. 's8220;The collection of short stories due to appear in September, for example, is split explicitly into the three geographic regions in which I's8217;ve lived. For that reason, the book is titled The Three Oceans.'s8221;



Yvonne's8217;s first published novel takes place in South Africa. Her second, in preparation, is a New Zealand book. Will there third one be placed in Poland



's8220;Most definitely. Poland of the 1970s, when communism was rife and, contrary to popular belief, not altogether bad.'s8221;



Yvonne Walus is published by Echelon Press Publishing, Pipers's Ash, and the Comma Press.
