Valerie Hansen is the pen name of Valerie Whisenand. Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the GoodReads database with this name. See this thread for more information. Although I have been a published author since the mid 1980s, I have been writing women's Christian fiction almost exclusively since 1999. There is a longer, more detailed bio on my website so there's no need for me to repeat all that here. Right now, I write for all three Love Inspired lines, Romance, Suspense and Historical. I'm delighted to have been included that broadly and besides, it keeps me so busy that I stay out of trouble. Well, mostly. You'll find me on the LI Historical blog as well as other LI features. If I try to do much more I won't have time to write my books!
