Yvonne Glasgow is an author, poet, artist, crafter, healer, Pagan, and nature lover.

Yvonne created her first poetry book in the first grade. Since then, she has never stopped writing. However, writing isn't Yvonne's only love. She has a passion for art, crafting, teaching, and healing. Yvonne's passion for helping and healing people drove her to get her Ph.D. in Holistic Life Coaching Degree in 2011 and her D.Div. in Spiritual Counseling (2018). She's an eternal learner with many certifications, diplomas, and masterships. She is also a Reiki Master.

Yvonne started as a professional writer in 2000, writing concert reviews and CD reviews. After a few years of writing reviews for Music Revue Magazine in Grand Rapids, in 2003, Yvonne was hired as their editor-in-chief and would be the final editor-in-chief under the original owner. She remained with the magazine until September 2005. In the next few years, Yvonne honed her online writing skills, and in 2010 she started working freelance from home full-time.

Before that, in 2008, Yvonne published her first book (in the traditional manner). It was a children's picture book that she also created all the art. "Frankie the Firefly Belongs" would lead to numerous self-published books in multiple genres. Yvonne now focuses on teaching wellness, witchcraft, and self-help topics. She also writes murderous poems as Ivy Rose.

When not writing, Yvonne is busy crafting witchy and spooky items for Skulls & Cauldrons and doing oracle readings.
