Overcoming
I was a beautiful Brazilian Beauty Pageant winner living a carefree lifestyle of a seventeen-year-old. I had wealth and power at my fingertips. Fate dramatically changed my life when a devastating car wreck left me a paraplegic.
When I woke up from the coma, I was told that a drunk driver had hit me in a head-on collision. It was a severe car crash that instantly killed my boyfriend and the drunk driver of the other car.
I learned that it was a miracle that I had survived the accident and that I had already undergone several back surgeries to try to repair the damage to my spine. Soon it became apparent that I must now face a life without the use of my legs.
My journey began that day. The guidance I received from many men and women helped shape me into the person I have become. I have learned to face adversity and challenges with determination and humor. My name is Giovanna Valdez and this is my story about Overcoming.

K. Lorraine
27 booksI've been writing under the pen name, K. Lorraine since 2011. My favorite kinds of books to write are Romance/murder, however, I also dabble in Science Fiction, Adventure, Poetry, humor/satire and children's stories.
My interest in writing started in middle school. Throughout my grade school years, I won several writing contests. I gained experience as a grant writer when I was the director for a non-profit. Once upon a time, I held the position of Public Relations Officer for a different non-profit.
I first published in 2011 when I wrote the short story, Next Generation: Love in Silence. The story was based on Romeo & Juliette, but with an alien twist. The book was unveiled at the 2011 Roswell, NM. Alien Festival. I'm self-published through Createspace and my books are also available at Amazon & Kindle, and Goodreads.
I’ve recently discovered a love for blogging. I blog daily on various topics. My blogs can be read on my website http://klorraine.com. I can also be followed on Facebook and Twitter.
I live in Roswell, NM with my husband Ed, of twenty-five years. Collectively, we have five children and six grandchildren.
