Author Biography
Growing up, Jody Valley wrote poetry and short stories to bare her teenage rebellious soul--in lieu of a journal. She wanted to be either a spy or a reporter, and to never give up her skepticism. When her family frowned on her entering the field of espionage, she settled for becoming a clinical social worker -- fulfilling her need to spy -- and writing columns and feature stores for newspapers, as well as fighting for social justice. Jody has combined her years as a journalist with her years as a clinical social worker and a social activist to write her first suspenseful mystery novel. She lives with her partner of twenty-four years, and three dogs. Together, they have four adult children and two adorable granddaughters--with another granddaughter on the way. She does much of her writing at her cabin on a lake in northern Michigan.
