As a former award-winning journalist for The Albany Herald and retired hospital public relations manager, Valerie knew that God was calling her to continue to reach the world through her words. The Holy Spirit impressed on her heart to gather other like-minded writers "to be Literary Missionaries, shining the light of Christ in a dark world with the written word." She truly lives this message with a bright smile and a tender heart, even in the midst of adversity. Valerie writes inspirational women's fiction, but also has non-fiction works in progress. She is the published author of "Greater Heights," a novel that follows the journey of a young, battered wife searching for answers in the midst of the 9/11 tragedy. Valerie is wife to Harold and mother to two grown sons, mother-in-law to their beautiful wives, and grandmother to three grandsons and one granddaughter. Besides writing, she loves to teach the Word, sing, read, and watch old movies ? oh, and drink all the coffee!vizualizați mai puține
