Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Author of cozy mystery suspense thrillers, VLZ’s tales of woe will keep readers on their toes and glued to the pages up until the very ending, the last word spoken, the last line written. If you love a tight mystery with ups and downs, sure to delight the senses, then you should love the tales VLZ has created for around the campfire. Born in 1953, the last child of TEN children, VLZ has always been a storyteller from a very early age, where only a pencil and a scrap piece of paper was all she could get her hands on. A survivor of such tribulations as Polio and Tuberculosis, VLZ managed to strive through with great enthusiasm, having a high spirit and a loving family of constant siblings at her side. A lover of all animals, the arts and cinema, and a card player of Rummy with her sisters, VLZ’s heartfelt desire is in her writing and the hopes of giving her readers an escape from the hustle of everyday life, even if for an hour or two, where the reader can laugh, take a breath and be entertained. A fan of King, Koontz, Patterson, Agatha Christie, and the late great, Mr. Alfred Hitchcock. For further insight into VLZ, please go to: www.vlzbooks.com
