Valerie Holmes

Valerie is a British author of Regency era romantic adventures, set amid the dramatic landscapes of North Yorkshire, far away from the London Ton. She has fifty-two published short novels feeding into the Commonwealth large print library market, as well as four Sapere novels – the Yorkshire Saga Series which blends romance, mystery, smuggling, and espionage, against a backdrop of dramatic social change during this tumultuous period.

She began her career after winning Writing Magazine’s Annual Ghost Story Competition and has twice been shortlisted by the Romantic Novelists’ Association.

The beautiful, rugged moors, coastlines, and historic bay and market towns inspire her stories, steeped in engaging history waiting to be explored. Spirited heroines face shifting alliances, bonding with the heroes whose honour and hearts become entangled with their own. Her stories often pose one irresistible question: when truth and lies collide, can trust and love survive?
