Mother of four (3boys and 1 girl) and currently grandmother of ten (6boys and 4girls). Valerie has worked in restaurant management for 20 plus years but has always been an avid reader and had always dreamed of writing her own books. Currently she works in home health with the elderly/disabled and writes whenever humanly possible. As of this posting she has five books available (all e-reads) and many more in the works. Her favorite pastimes are reading and of course writing as well as making jewelry, baking, and spending time with her grands. Valerie dreams of one day being a best selling author and moving to the pacific northwest, possibly Seattle.
