Val Portelli

Val became an author around the age of nine when she received her first rejection letter from a well-known women’s magazine. Undeterred, she carried on writing for friends and family until a freak accident left her house-bound and going stir-crazy. To save her sanity she put fingers to laptop resulting in her first novel being traditionally published in 2013. A second book through different publishers increased her knowledge of how things work and she turned Indie, migrating from her original pen name of ‘Voinks’ along the way. She writes in various genres, although the weekly short stories published on her Facebook author page often include her trademark twist of ‘Quirky.’ Reviews for her books are always appreciated, as they help buy food for the Unicorns she breeds in her spare time.
