Growing up, Jody Valley wrote poetry and short stories to bare her teenage rebellious soul. She wanted to be either a spy or a reporter, and to never give up her skepticism. She settled for social work, writing columns and feature stores for newspapers, and social activism.
Jody has combined her years as a journalist with her years as a clinical social worker and social activist to write her first suspenseful mystery novel, "A Venomous Cocktail." The sequel "Twisted Minds. "

The third novel to her "Kera Van Brocklin Trilogy" is "The Bartender's Secret: A Cruise of Deception." This novel takes place on an adventure cruise ship in Alaska's inlet waters. This setting was inspired by a trip Jody and her wife took on an adventure cruise, there.

For instance, maybe I don't know my characters well enough to know how they'd handle what's going on in the story, or if I have the wrong character. Or maybe I don't have a good sense, generally, of where my story is going. A good walk in nature always helps!(less)
