I'm a horror writer from the UK working on my first full length horror novel. I've been a full time writer for six months, having spent years honing my skills with some awful work, all part of the learning curve! My books are available for Kindle and Kobo. I have a website, a Facebook and Twitter account and an Amazon author /author/valentineking. I'm a fan of twists in the tale, subversive chillers and I try to write the type of stories I love to read, short snappy horrors that get straight to the point.
