Valerie Brook

When V.J. Brook was a little girl her parent's television blew out one night just as the news broadcast ended. For some mysterious and fateful reason, they never fixed it. Not for five years. And during those five years her mother read to her nearly every night; filling her mind with distant lands, magical creatures, and heroic courage. This seeded V.J.'s childhood dream to become a writer.

When she's not writing fiction, she enjoys photography, riding motorcycles, and dreaming about living in a world where people are sane.
