Valerie Anne Faulkner was raised on Long Island, about two hours east of New York City.  Her hometown Yaphank, was rural, woods and fields and housed just a handful of dwellings. Growing up in a small town did not mean that Valerie would not have big dreams.

In the 70's she and her husband and their first child began a new undertaking as they left family and friends and moved to Florida. As their family grew by two more children Valerie had the luxury of being a stay-at-home mom during the primary years of their lives.

This did not hinder another adventure however as she and her husband began an electrical contracting business in 1973. Valerie managed home, children and office while Bill worked out in the field.

Now semi-retired  they continue to reside on the west coast of Florida in a town called
Spring Hill assisting their son who continues to run the family business they started. 

Valerie's award winning novel; I Must Be In Heaven, A Promise Kept has launched a new career and still another adventure. She is a woman of faith and enjoys life and all her blessings. She is not wealthy but is certainly rich. She believes in the promise of tomorrow.
