An unapologetic book-huffer and devourer-of-stories, Vera Valentine has carried on a torrid love affair with the written word for nearly all of her 42 years. Grown in the diner-laden wilds of the New Jersey Pine Barrens, she now lives in North Carolina with her husband, six cats, and two dogs, most of whom are house trained.

Like many of her characters, Vera (she/her) is happily queer and polyamorous, in addition to being a lifelong practicing Pagan. If any of the above facts made you wrinkle your nose, heads up: this author and her works ain't for you.
