If this is your first time to my blog, I'm Yvonne Ventresca, the author of PANDEMIC and BLACK FLOWERS, WHITE LIES. PANDEMIC, my debut novel, was partially inspired by the H1N1 pandemic of 2009. In my fictional pandemic, a teenage girl struggles to survive a deadly influenza outbreak and its real-life consequences along with her personal demons. Here we are, over ten years after H1N1, experiencing a much more deadly and serious pandemic. I'm wishing all the YASH participants health and safety during these uncertain times.
BLACK FLOWERS, WHITE LIES explores toxic relationships, gaslighting, and . . . ghosts. (You can read more about it here.)
When Misty isn't filming or roaming the planet, or diving into another novel, she's spending time at home in Texas with her myriad of nieces and nephews in tow.
The Blood Dagger Series is a bestselling, multiple award-winning, high-octane Young Adult Paranormal trilogy.
