A voracious reader, Valerie grew frustrated with the way women her age were portrayed in fiction. Mature women can be more than caregivers, grandmothers, and book club aficionados. They can also ride motorcycles, use chain saws, rescue drowning people, and chase bad guys on occasion. Her debut novel, The Badass Widows, is about women doing all those things while also dealing with love and loss.
