Valerie's goal in writing is to bring people closer to Jesus one chapter at a time.
Valerie has been writing stories since she was in second grade when she wrote "The Mystery of the Missing Crayon." She gave up writing mysteries soon after and now concentrates on real-life stories that tackle tough issues such as homelessness, unplanned pregnancy, family tragedy, childhood trauma, foster care, poverty, and terminal cancer. All of her books are filled with the hope and love of Christ and are uplifting and feel-good with happy, though sometimes tearful, endings as her characters overcome their obstacles with God at their side. She also writes biblical non-fiction, indie author non-fiction, children's books, allegorical fiction, and small church Christmas plays. (She's a little obsessed with writing.)
Valerie is a fan of summer, warmth, and flip-flips, so she often wonders why she lives in Maine where she is frozen for the better half of the year. But her amazing husband and adorable sons live there with her, so it's not all bad. She graduated from Bible College with a degree in Bible and Missions a long, long time ago in a state far, far away.
Can God save someone in a night club? Can He save a high school dropout? A victim of child abuse? What about someone who tried to burn their parents alive? Find the answers in this collection of over 35 true inspiring stories!
Excerpts:
"Once I had watched a movie about a kid who hated his parents, and he burned his house down. I thought, I could do that. So one night, I stayed up late soaking gasoline on the carpet in my parents bedroom. I took newspapers and laid them around their bed. I poured gasoline all over the doorway. I lit a match, dropped it into the carpet, and ran out of the room to avoid the explosion."
"One night at supper, as I sat at the table with my husband and three children, I looked at them and thought, Where did this lonely feeling come from? When did I start feeling so unhappy? How long have I felt this way?"
"As a young boy, I feared death, and though I didn't think about it often, when I did, it was a scary thought. By the time I became a teenager, I had been introduced to all sorts of bad and wrong ideas of what was acceptable for me to do and say. I didn't consider myself a bad person, but I struggled with anger and it showed. I also had trouble "adjusting" to high school. It was an unpleasant experience, as I remember it, and I did not make it far before dropping out."
