Author Bio

I live with my partner and mischievous cat on the sunny south coast of England.

I have always had a vivid imagination and have been writing since I was thirteen years old.

I am now a self-published author of the Cursed Trilogy and I’m also a Project Manager for an IT Company.

I have always had a passion for writing, however my pursuit began after a story assignment during school. I completed my first story when I was fourteen and after lending it to friends I received good feedback. However at the time I wrote only in notebooks and on paper and as a result that copy was lost. This story has been rewritten and is my ‘It’s Complicated’ title listed below.

My inspirations and imagination surprises even myself sometimes when story ideas fly in from every direction. I definitely have a lot of books coming your way in the future.

I love to hear from readers so please do get in touch.

Happy Reading!

Finding You Young Adult Romance Pitch Perfect Winner

Underground Book Review Pitch Perfect Winner !!

Paperback & Kindle on Amazon 

Finding You is the explosive, twisting conclusion of Agony of Being Me, young adult romance. 

Zoe has definitely come of age. Her body survived a brutal attack, but her soul has yet to recover. Deeply embedded emotional scars have changed the course of her life, influencing the once levelheaded girl's future. Haunted by loss and tragic memories, she struggles to fight her way through an urban high school so different from the suburban haven in which she grew up. Living with raucous cousins, Nino and Nina, she's quickly transformed from innocent to seasoned, soft-hearted to hard-headed, discarding her dreams of college and law school. 

Music is her only salvation. She buries herself in writing lyrics, and composing songs on her acoustic guitar. Believing life as a rockstar sensation will make her whole again, she wangles herself into Chasing Dinero, a local band, grudgingly tolerated as songwriter and backup singer. But fame does not come without a price. There's Richie Santana, dark and dangerous. Denny Brisk, smooth, sexy and flirtatious. Touring in a bomb of a bus called Big Blooper, Zoe learns the hard way the lifestyle of rockers. Should she give her heart or save it for a one and only, or is he just a dream? 

Jesse delays entering art school in order to keep his family service station operational so he can afford the home no longer occupied by his parents or reckless brother Jamie. Jesse vents his frustrations with a paint brush and a series of sexual encounters with a variety of women. Kirby enters his life, pulling every string off her bikini, luring Jesse to Miami where he's promised a dream job with the magazine for which she works. Jesse's not about to settle down, especially with Kirby, so he heads for his dad's ranch in Texas where a song brings him home. 

Victoria Valentine ** January Valentine

January Valentine is the pen name of Victoria Valentine, New York writer and indie book publisher. See Victoria's Author page: amazon.com/author/victoriavalentine

Finding You is my eight novel and I'm thrilled to announce it was selected as an Underground Book Review Pitch Perfect Winner.

I chose to use a pen name because some of my writing is steamy, and I wanted to separate Victoria, who writes contemporary fiction and children's storybooks. Since my birth month is January, January Valentine seemed an appropriate pseudonym.

I also host a blogtalkradio show: Away With Words, every Wednesday evening at 6 PM EST where I interview other writers and poets and discuss writing in general: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/aww1

In June, I released my first paranormal romance, Beautiful Experiment, book one of Island of Defiance Trilogy. Wheel Wolf was released on August 20th, and instantly became an Amazon bestseller in Horror/Suspense/Paranormal. 

Other novels: Love Dreams contemporary romance, Sweet Dreams in the Mind of a Serial Killer, and Fighting For You New Adult romance. All are available on Amazon and other booksellers, or will be shortly in ebook and paperback.

I publish books for other authors through Water Forest Press, which I founded some years ago. In the past I have written poetry and song lyrics, but now I focus on fiction. I've created multiple websites and blogs that I don't have time to manage very well.
My desire to be in a rock band brought me into a recording studio ... where my lyrics sprang to life with the help of a local alternative rock band. Together, we produced a CD.

I enjoy designing book covers and youtube videos. I enjoy hiking and swimming. I love all kinds of music. Watching horror flicks and Tyler Perry movies are my escape from reality.

I have an addiction to engraved pens that I buy to accompany each of my books. My office is filled with paperbacks and swag.

A bit about my books:

Wheel Wolf: Beneath a full, blood moon, on the way home from his girlfriend's house, Jack Bailey encounters something terrifying at Phantom Lake. Fleeing the unknown, he dumps his bike and is found unconscious, his body tangled with a naked girl. Jack struggles to regain memory and the use of his legs, while fighting a sudden urge for raw meat and to bay at the moon. Wheel Wolf is a story of unconditional love that lives beyond the grave, and a relentless fight for retribution. An Amazon bestseller in Werewolves/Shifters/Horror/Suspense. 

Beautiful Experiment: Six unruly teens are abducted on their way to a juvie home. Dumped onto an uncharted island. Could things get any worse? Hell, yeah. Hostility and envy run rampant. Throw in some alphas, divas and demons, and what do you have? Beautiful Experiment. Book One of the Island of Defiance Trilogy.

Love Dreams: She's a beautiful wreck who wants nothing to do with me. Beaten and left for dead, she suffers from night terrors. When she keeps running into a gorgeous guy things heat up, but memories of abuse dampen the fire. 
He's handsome. He's wealthy. He's in a wheelchair. His entire life has changed, and the past months have been hell. But there's a bright spot in Michael's life: a girl named Sienna.

Sweet Dreams: A serial killer is on the loose, moving up the East Coast, leaving bodies & notes. Planting roses in his victims. Leonardo Gibraldi, Baltimore's sexy Assistant DA, is tracking the fiend who's responsible for the grisly murder of his ex-girlfriend. Leo's out for revenge -- so is the killer. Between hunting the madman, and fighting off beautiful women, Leo's got his hands full. There's one break in the case: An eye witness who says, "It doesn't look human."

Fighting For You: Life is smooth sailing for Jewelia Delarosa, NYPD's next super cop, or so she hopes. The twenty-one year old headstrong Latina from middle class Poughkeepsie has a lot to learn, and like it or not, James Ballou aka Indigo, is her designated teacher. The problem is, the wealthy and elusive med student has some baggage that's preventing him from giving his heart to the woman who already has his mind. It's one step forward, two steps back for the struggling Manhattan couple in this steamy New Adult romance. A 400 page breezy, sometimes humorous drama that includes a bit of mystery.

Agony of Being Me & Finding You Editorial Reviews

Agony of Being Me is a Realistic portrayal of human nature when faced with tragedy. I identified with the strong, well-developed characters and their life-altering issues and how they each handled the hurdles life threw at them from different perspectives. This is a well written book, with emotional depth, while being an easy read. Highly recommend. --M.M. West,  MAT, New York

Finding You is More than your typical young adult romance 

I received an advance copy of Finding You on the heels of Agony of Being Me.

If I thought Book One was a winner, Book Two is a literary explosion.

Finding You is a fabulous story, filled with fascinating characters woven into a brilliant plot. There are no dull moments or fillers here. This is a full-bodied sink-your-teeth-in red meat novel from start to finish.

  

The ups and downs, twists and turns are not only what makes Finding You stand out among others. The style of writing is exceptional. We're taken on a whirlwind ride with a rock band, while following two brothers so different, yet with one thing in common: troubled women. This is a story of two people thrown off course by fate, searching for something, someone, not realizing they are searching for each other.

The dialogue is bright, witty, poignant, and incredibly romantic. Finding You deals with tender young love, broken hearts, haunted individuals. There is so much tension and love within these pages, it's impossible to describe.

  
Finding You is a must read follow-up to Agony of Being Me, intended for anyone who is looking for authentic characterizations, beautifully flowing dialogue, laughter, tears, excitement and surprises. The author makes sure you not only read her words, but feel her words deep in your heart. --M.M. West, MAT, New York

Bronx Park East by John Pasquale

​Buy on Amazon

Fiery Flash Fiction & Poignant Short Stories 

Bronx Park East is more than a memoir. It's an emotional chunk of the precarious lives led by the author, his family and friends broken down into a compilation of compelling short stories. 

The introduction itself sets the striking groundwork that will lead us into the heart and troubling experiences the author lived through. Experiences that have left a permanent mark.  

The book gives us a look into the lives of a family affected by alcohol and drugs. The hazardous events, the struggle for survival, and the good fortune of overcoming adversity to go on and gain a strong foothold on life. For a moment, walk in John's footsteps as he takes us on an incredible journey that shows what strength & determination, along with camaraderie and unity can overcome.

My heart goes out to the families who faced these dangerous challenges on a daily basis. This is about getting stuck in the ruts of rough neighborhoods. Exposure to drugs and alcohol resulting in crime and punishment. Scrapes with the law. Emergency visits to the hospital. Wild lives. Problems faced. Paths one might choose. At times the situations are so overwhelming, life doesn't leave much choice. You can sink deeper into hell or pull yourself up and out. John tells stories of how life can change on a dime. How people are affected by the alcohol, drugs and crime that ran rampant in his neighborhood. 

Bronx Park East is a well written account of memories woven into gripping short stories. Tragic moments in difficult times. Violence. Heartbreak. Adversity. Triumph.

The photos at the end of the book are a thoughtful touch. If you're looking for a heartfelt and involving read, I'd suggest you pick up this book. I give it 5 stars for content and presentation.

The Making Of A Mystic by Stacy Miller

When Stacy Miller realized there was more to our earthly existence than just what is perceived by our senses, and that there were many things beyond human perception and comprehension, it only propelled him deeper into his search for knowledge and understanding.  Why do we get "gut" feelings?   Have you ever had a near miss which convinced you that you had a guardian angel?  Have you ever thought of a specific person and then received a call from that person shortly thereafter? Why do we get "vibes" from certain people and not from others?  In this fascinating memoir, Stacy Miller ponders such questions and his search for understanding leads him to undeniable conclusions.  This story is one man's amazing journey of spiritual awakening and enlightenment through paranormal experiences and phenomena and his understanding of the impact these experiences have had on his life.
