Ylleya Fields

Ylleya Fields has four daughters and two sons. While looking for books to read to her eldest daughter (when she was 2), Ylleya was struck by the limited number of titles featuring African American characters. Blending both of her daughter's images and personalities together, Cupcake Jones was created. Born in South America, Ylleya currently resides with her family in Cleveland, Ohio. She enjoys writing and is currently working on new Princess Cupcake Jones stories. Ylleya's first book "Princess Cupcake Jones and the Missing Tutu" has won the Mom's Choice Award, the Gelett Burgess Award, a Family Choice Award and a IndieReader Discovery Award. There are currently four books in the Princess Cupcake Jones series!
