Welcome
“The characters, the plots, the places… I love to make them come alive. Writing novels has been a late-found joy for me.”
— Valerie Norris
Books
Further Beyond
‘Reading, writing and walking: such an agreeable way to pass the days…’ This is Rhian’s discovery after she takes early retirement and travels to spend time on solitary retreat in a beautiful corner of Wales.
Beyond Closure
Bereavement was part of Simon’s profession. How was he to know, then, that a seemingly innocuous reunion could trigger a series of events that threatened to derail his life?
The April Letters
The past, with its echoes of school days, a caring school teacher and events in a Welsh village, manages to catch up with the present in Susan’s life. It was time to lay all this to rest, at last.
Praise for Further Beyond
“Valerie has written a charming, quiet and gentle novel which is all about the subtleties of human relationships, set for the most part in the landscape visible from the summit of Carningli. It's a homage to the people and the place, interspersed with splendid poems by Val’s husband Chris. I hope it finds a wide readership, and welcome it to North Pembrokeshire’s fictional world in which many truths are told.”
Brian John, author of the 8-volume Angel Mountain Saga
