Jill Yates

Jill Yates was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. A graduate of Portland State University, she has written professionally for almost 20 years. When the coffee craze took off in the Pacific Northwest, her curiosity for the popular brew inspired her to write Coffee Lover's Bible. Because of her love for tea it was only a matter of time before Tales Of A Tea Leaf followed.

Jill is currently working on books about comfort food and chocolate. In addition to nonfiction, she enjoys writing screenplays and is actively seeking representation for her romantic comedy, "Abbey Rhodes," and her comedy/drama "Wishful Thinking" and "Call Me When You Get There." Jill lives in Southwest Washington with her husband, writer Gregory Yates, and their four-legged kids, Eddie & Henry.
