Valerie Ipson loves her family…and reading, writing, genealogy, and Hershey's Extra Creamy Milk Chocolate Toffee & Almond Nuggets (can the name be any longer?). She lives in Mesa, Arizona, and writes YA and Christmas Romance. Reading has always been a huge love in her life, but she never dreamed she’d be on the author side of a book. Valerie hopes she can give readers the same experience she has enjoyed through the years while being curled up with a good book!
