Valerie Eubanks grew up in Black Mountain, a small town in Western NC. Strangely, there are many famous and influential people from this scenic, idyllic town, so perhaps wandering the world was embedded in her from a young age by drinking the water...or something.

After graduating from UNC Chapel Hill, Valerie moved to the NYC area, where she still lives today. An extremely hard worker with a thousand ideas in her head, she's started several businesses, some that succeeded, several that failed. For some reason, she's never been afraid of failure, always choosing to embrace it for the awesome lessons it continues to teach her. She also excelled in Corporate America as a successful medical device sales rep for twelve years. Now, after four decades on the planet, she's decided to become an author, choosing to write non-fiction and fantasy romance novels. Will she succeed? Well, that depends--for her definition of "success" might be quite different than yours...
