Valerie Glenmullen is an eternal immigrant, raised in the Netherlands by Scottish parents until her family moved to Oregon when she was sixteen. An American high school diploma, microbiology degree, and two moves across the Atlantic later, she writes what she loves to read: romance wrapped in fantasy, science fiction, or other trappings that serve to heighten the stakes. Between humor, spice, and whatever twists she can think of, her deepest wish is to capture that sense of wonder at the heart of existence: “how strange it is/to be anything at all”.
She lives on a homestead in Eastern Tennessee with her three partners and three cats. Ash Lukens is her co-author on multiple projects.
