Yves Fey began drawing as soon as she could hold a crayon and writing at twelve. She’s been a tie dye artist, go-go dancer, creator of ceramic beasties, illustrator, and has won prizes for her chocolate desserts. Her current obsession is creating perfumes inspired by her characters. Yves lives in Albany with her mystery writer husband, Richard Anderson, and their cats, Charlotte and Emily, the Flying Bronte Sisters. Her multiple award-winning mystery, FLOATS THE DARK SHADOW, is set in the decadent world of artistic Belle Époque Paris. BITTER DRAUGHTS, the sequel, takes place during the political chaos of the Dreyfus Affair. You can explore the art and history of the era at her website. http://yvesfey.com
