About the Author

Born on Valentine's day, in California, the youngest child of Isaac and Teresita, and older siblings Rudy and Madeline, Valerie lived and traveled throughout California, and in Vegas.  She now resides in Honolulu, Hawaii, where she has found a love-at-first sight feeling* that will remain within her wherever she goes.

She has written poems since she was sixteen, as said, to be just thoughts on paper, but now is a poetry collection for her.  First with intrigued feelings, was that first 'puppy love' moment.  It was a crush, if you may, that got her to write about how she felt about love; to dream about it, write about it, live and learn about it and eventually moved on because it was only just - a crush.  Then, her writing expanded into just about anything that made her feel, dream and live.

Although she kept her poems a secret for a long time, it was then read by her mom, sister and brother, and then some close friends.  Those personal thoughts were private and not for all to see, but as experiences, mishaps and encounters of such occurred, the belief and support that was given to her, inspired her to write more and share it with others, with the world.

Inspirational works by Maya Angelou and Oprah's insightful wisdom (O; shows that 'no one is alone in this big, beautiful world, unless they want to be.'  Expressing one's thoughts and experiences shows that someone has already felt and experienced the same way you thought you were feeling when you thought you were alone...and that means you are not alone.

For those intrigued and inspired to read on, the author says thank you-salamat-shi shi-mahalo-gracias-mer ci- there's no other words to explain her gratitude for reading and welcoming her work into your life ... but 'thank you!'
