Yvonne Lee, Robert Raymer, and Adeline Loh

Congrats to Yvonne Lee Shu Yee, whom I blogged about in Got Some Writer Envy.  Not only is her latest book Madness Aboard, the long awaited follow up to The Sky is Crazy, nominated for the 2011 Popular Star Reader’s Choice Award, she’s also a semi-finalists in the Estée Lauder Model Search2011. Check out her photo, next to last row, at left, and feel free to vote for her.   

Recently Yvonne was interviewed on TV twice in Singapore and she's featured in the current issue of Quill (April-June 2011).  So she’s more than just a pretty face--she knows how to write and she knows how to market herself! 

Congrats to all nominated writers and nominated models!  May 2011 be your year!
