Just prior to her retirement from the Navy, someone suggested she turn an idea she had into a children’s book, and from there her second career began. 

Her first novel, Believing In Horses, tells the story of a young girl saving unwanted horses. A lifelong horse enthusiast, Valerie has enjoyed bringing horses into people’s lives who may not have otherwise been exposed to horses.
