edit data

Valery grew up in a small town that resides about an hours drive from Las Vegas. She spent most of her childhood playing Star Trek, Star Wars, and other alien games with her four brothers. She also rode horses everyday, obsessed about sports, studied the night sky with her grandfather and his monstrous homemade telescope, and swam as often as possible.
She wrote her first book at 13, which sadly has disappeared.
Her current obsessions are photography, backpacking, lounging on the beach with a good book, and spending time with her favorite people.

Quotes by Valery G. Olsen (?)

“Love was a fickle thing, and it only complicated life with distraction and broken hearts.”
― Valery G. Olsen, Perigee

“One wrong word, one clumsy move, and their one spy and ally would be taken out of play. She was the only one who could help them, and they needed her more than they needed air.”
― Valery G. Olsen, Perigee

“This very act of defiance had become a therapeutic exercise, one that focused his anger on destroying at least one small part of his prison, and he tightened his grip on the small stick of plas-crete between his fingers.

The scratching provided an amount of control over his life when he had none, and he narrowed his gaze, fixating on the symbol blossoming across his designated section of floor. Another mark, one more dead.”
― Valery G. Olsen, Perigee
