Welcome back to the podcast, I’m Jamie Baynes. One of the things I truly enjoy about doing this podcast is discovering writers that I’m not familiar with, but find out that they’ve written a lot of books. Valerie Burns is just such an author. She’s written numerous books under various names, and as you’ll soon see, she’s an absolute joy to talk to. I hope you enjoy our conversation.

After you listen, let me know what you think of Valerie. Her saying that she started writing because the books that she loved reading didn’t represent her really resonated with me. Books and literature should feature diverse characters, cultures, and locations, yet most older books are significantly lacking in all three. Hopefully, strides are being made by authors like Valerie to ensure that everyone feels included in the books that they read.

I’d like to thank Valerie for coming on the podcast, and I can’t wait to talk to her again.
