About Valerie
Author of 8 books, including THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE FOR NEW WRITERS, a how-to book based on my series of writing workshops. My most recent novel, OVERTAKEN, is a literary fairy tale written for adults of all ages--teens too! When I'm not writing I like to draw, paint, collage, and make handbuilt pottery.

I am trying to wind down my law practice and transition into writing full time. Actually, book promotion, full time! I will have completed the Goopy Ghost series this summer. I have one non-Goopy book and more on the way. How are YOU doing? It's always great to hear from you! Hugs to you!
