Y is for YEOMANS



Hey, if you had a last Name 
that started with Y, 
you would have used it today, too!


I am asking you today 
if you use an author bio 
at the end of your book.

Do you think readers 
want to know 
about the author 
who wrote the book 
they've enjoyed?


Here's the one I use:
 

Roland Yeomans was born in Detroit, Michigan.  

 But his last memories of that city are hub-caps and kneecaps 

since, at the age of seven, he followed the free food when his parents moved to Lafayette, Louisiana.   

The hitch-hiking after their speeding car from state to state was a real adventure. 

Once in Louisiana, 
Roland learned strange new ways 
of pronouncing David and Richard 
when they were last names. 

 And it was not a pleasant sight when he pronounced Comeaux for the first time.

He has a Bachelor’s degree in English Education and a Master’s degree in Psychology.   

He has been a teacher, counselor, book store owner, 

and even a pirate 
since he once worked 
at a tax preparation firm.

 Now, he is a rare blood courier.

So far, 
he has written 42 Kindle books,
19 paperbacks with a 20th in the wings



and has produced 28 audio books,
the latest being 


 You can find Roland at his web page:
 or at his private table in Meilori’s. 

The web page is safer to visit.   
But if you insist on visiting Meilori’s,
bring a friend who runs slower than you!


Do You Include an
Author Bio
in your books?

  1. Absolutely! And links. I believe that readers are interested in the people behind the words... I know that I'm interested in authors who have held my attention long enough for me to read an entire book. (My attention span is getting shorter and shorter...)

    1. I tried to make my bio fun just in case folks read that first before deciding to buy my book or not! :-)

  3. Yes, I appreciate a good bio, and yours is special. I often read the bio first.

    I forgot you were a pirate LOL. The City should hire you to play Jean Lafitte during Contraband days, then again no one wants to walk "the plank" ... (chuckle)
