C.E. Vale

My name is C.E. Vale. The simple pitch is that I am an independent author from the Pacific Northwest. But my connection to writing goes deeper than that.

I have always struggled with anxiety. Always saw seemingly benign occurrences as life threatening. In a way, it forced me to imagine, not just the catastrophic, but also the unimaginably beautiful. It wasn't until my adult years of late that I have realized how my brain was different. And addressing this anxiety disorder has given me the ability to refocus my energy into bringing these stories to life. To finish something I can give to the world.

So my stories are my own. I want to make readers think, but also want them to be accessible to everyone. To speak to the human condition with a refreshing realism. Something I can access, having studied cultural theory and dedicated my academic life to understanding how we experience the every day. I hope that comes through and everyone finds something in my writing they can enjoy.
