Valerie Lawson is a young adult contemporary author who dabbles in middle grade mysteries and practices the art of cursing while driving. She has been known on occasion to wield sarcasm like a +5 Holy Avenger. In her previous life, she believes she was a Mayan goddess as evidenced by her love of chocolate and Javier Bardem. (She recognizes that Javier is Spanish, but she doesn’t care.) She lives in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, with her family who suffer through her delusions of grandeur and bouts of madness with grace.
Valerie also contributes to the group blog The Great Noveling Adventure on a monthly basis. You can find all of her posts here.
