About Me

Valerie Storey
Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States
I'm the author of 8 books and write across the genres. My books include a literary Gothic, OVERTAKEN, as well as books for young readers: BETTER THAN PERFECT, set in New Zealand, and THE GREAT SCARAB SCAM, an Egyptian mystery for the middle grades. When I'm not writing, I enjoy working with hand-built pottery, watercolors, found poetry, and collage.
