Brittany Valentine is a young adult speculative writer who lives on a forty-acre farm in southern Illinois with her parents, seven siblings, and nine horses.
She’s always loved to read and this quickly turned into a passion for writing. Some of her earliest stories consisted of crazy cartoon figures with elaborately scrawled captions. She couldn’t read her handwriting then and sadly it hasn’t improved much. Go computers!
Inspired by authors such as J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, Brittany has a huge soft spot for speculative fiction. Currently she’s working on The Chronicles of Aura, a young adult fantasy series about an orphaned girl who discovers she has the ability to bridge worlds.
