C.H. Valentino

I may be splitting hairs...

...but I'm a writer, not an author until there is an ISBN behind my name. Plus, on my list of "Likes" is "labels".

Thus, I am a writer of several books that span multiply genres, currently writing the fourth book in the "Even In..." series; a modern, neo-vampire urban drama, as well as working on the third book in the "Samantha Marlow" series, in addition to several other stand alone novels.  I am a previous participant and winner of NaNoWriMo 2007, 2008, and 2009, and an avid supporter of the Young Writer’s Program.

A twenty-five years old police dispatcher by day and a writer by blood, I spend most of my time writing to develop a unique style that focuses on constructing written prose with sensation and music.

I was educated in the Suzuki program, learning violin and viola throughout my childhood. I have two dogs, Anubis- a Great Dane- and Bella- a Rottweiler, and live on the Illinois side near St. Louis, Mo. I enjoy writing during the evening with a CD of Wagner, a bottle of something strong, and a pack of Marlboros.
