The Blood Factor

Valerie Horton Quick, a 58-year-old author writes her first heart moving novel. Born and raised in the small town of Plymouth, North Carolina, with her parents, four brothers and strong family ties, Valerie gave her life to the Lord at the age of thirteen. After obtaining a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing from East Carolina University she settled down to live in Eastern North Carolina. In 1985 she married God’s choice and the love of her life, Apostle Tommy E. Quick, her husband of over thirty-one years. They lived in Rockingham, North Carolina where with fervent prayer and intercession, she helped raise two stepchildren and bore three children. In 1992 this pioneering couple later moved to Spartanburg, South Carolina with their three small children to start a ministry. The Promised Land Christian Discipleship Center is an influential center for The Gospel of Jesus Christ in the Upstate of South Carolina. This proud mother of five productive, sober and spiritually guided adults, grandmother of eleven, and great grandmother of three is armed with a word from the Lord. Her endeavor is to live a God first lifestyle, as she intentionally lives out her life as God intended as a wife, mother, grandmother, pastor’s wife, sister, aunt, niece, cousin, neighbor and friend. As a nurse she demonstrates her faith and promotes health and wellness in her circle of influence. With this new calling as an author she desires first and foremost for God to get the glory and to strengthen individuals in their faith as they are entertained with her stories.
