Valerie Douglas’s novels reflect her eclectic tastes, a fan of almost every genre she writes high, classic and historical fantasy, thrillers and romance and, as V.J. Devereaux, she also writes erotic romance. Happily married to the best husband in the world (she says), she’s companion to two coonhounds (Ruby and Ella), four beloved cats (Billie Jo, sweet Pi, tanglefoot Tango, and shy Mendy) and an African clawed frog named Hopper who delights in tormenting Pi and Tango from the safety of his tank.
