January Valentine
Facebook Event Tuesday 12/17
Losing someone is never
easy, especially when you hold yourself responsible. He wants to open his heart
again, but he can't. So he's found another way to fill the void, ease the pain.
Her first shot at love broke her heart, not her spirit. She's determined to climb back up to the top of her class and become a detective before turning twenty-five.
Life is smooth sailing for Jewelia Delarosa, NYPD's next super cop, or so she hopes. But the twenty-one year old headstrong Latina from middle class Poughkeepsie has a lot to learn about love, and she's picked James "Indigo" Ballou to be her teacher.
The moment she sets eyes on him her world stands still, while his begins to spin. Yet, the wealthy and elusive med student has some baggage that's preventing him from surrendering his heart to the woman who has already captured his mind. Involvement with him might alter her plans and test her resolve. She should walk away. But she can't. She's made a decision to hang around and find out what he's all about. Regardless of the outcome, she'll fight to the end.
Together they fear the emotional, hunger for the physical. She doesn't trust him. He doesn't trust himself. It's one step forward, two steps back for the struggling Manhattan couple in this steamy romantic drama. Stumble along with Jewelia and Indigo as they land Head Over Wheels in an unexpected conclusion readers call ... Absolutely beautiful.
Coming in 2014, Indigo's point of view.

January Valentine is the pen
name of Victoria Valentine, New York writer and indie book publisher. See
Victoria's Author page: amazon.com/author/victoriavalentine
I chose to use a pen name
because some of my writing is steamy, and I wanted to separate Victoria, who
writes contemporary fiction and children's storybooks. Since my birth month is
January, January Valentine seemed an appropriate pseudonym.
In June, I released my first
paranormal romance, Beautiful Experiment, book one of Island of Defiance Trilogy.
Wheel Wolf was released on August 20th, and instantly became an Amazon
bestseller in Horror/Suspense/Paranormal.
I've written three other
novels: Love Dreams contemporary romance, Sweet Dreams in the Mind of a Serial
Killer, and Head Over Wheels New Adult romance. All are available on Amazon and
other booksellers, or will be shortly in ebook and paperback.
I publish books for other
authors through Water Forest Press, which I founded some years ago. In the past
I have written poetry and song lyrics, but now I focus on fiction. I've created
multiple websites and blogs that I don't have time to manage very well.
My desire to be in a rock band brought me into a recording studio ... where my lyrics sprang to life with the help of a local alternative rock band. Together, we produced a CD.

I enjoy designing book covers
and youtube videos. I enjoy hiking and swimming. I love all kinds of music.
Watching horror flicks and Tyler Perry movies are my escape from reality.
I have an addiction to engraved
pens that I buy to accompany each of my books. My office is filled with
paperbacks and swag.
A bit about my books:
Wheel Wolf: Beneath a full,
blood moon, on the way home from his girlfriend's house, Jack Bailey encounters
something terrifying at Phantom Lake. Fleeing the unknown, he dumps his bike
and is found unconscious, his body tangled with a naked girl. Jack struggles to
regain memory and the use of his legs, while fighting a sudden urge for raw
meat and to bay at the moon. Wheel Wolf is a story of unconditional love that
lives beyond the grave, and a relentless fight for retribution. An Amazon
bestseller in Werewolves/Shifters/Horror/Suspense.
Beautiful Experiment: Six
unruly teens are abducted on their way to a juvie home. Dumped onto an
uncharted island. Could things get any worse? Hell, yeah. Hostility and envy
run rampant. Throw in some alphas, divas and demons, and what do you have?
Beautiful Experiment. Book One of the Island of Defiance Trilogy.
Love Dreams: She's a beautiful
wreck who wants nothing to do with me. Beaten and left for dead, she suffers
from night terrors. When she keeps running into a gorgeous guy things heat up,
but memories of abuse dampen the fire. He's handsome. He's wealthy. He's in a
wheelchair. His entire life has changed, and the past months have been hell.
But there's a bright spot in Michael's life: a girl named Sienna.
Sweet Dreams: A serial killer
is on the loose, moving up the East Coast, leaving bodies & notes. Planting
roses in his victims. Leonardo Gibraldi, Baltimore's sexy Assistant DA, is
tracking the fiend who's responsible for the grisly murder of his
ex-girlfriend. Leo's out for revenge -- so is the killer. Between hunting the
madman, and fighting off beautiful women, Leo's got his hands full. There's one
break in the case: An eye witness who says, "It doesn't look human."
Head Over Wheels: Life is
smooth sailing for Jewelia Delarosa, NYPD's next super cop, or so she hopes.
The twenty-one year old headstrong Latina from middle class Poughkeepsie has a

mind. It's one step forward, two steps back for the struggling Manhattan couple
