About the Author

Annette Valentine is the author of the engaging and inspirational trilogy entitled My Father, a series that will leave you hungering for a fourth book. “Who knows?” she says with a delightfully serious note. “They’re each spirited sagas that focus on the deep love of a father for his child, and that, my friend, is a never-ending story! So perhaps there will be an upcoming fourth in the series.”

Eastbound from Flagstaff was her award-winning debut novel, and Down to the Potter’s House is the second in the series. Sufficient Sacrifice is the third.

Her writing began with a knack for believing in spine-tingling ghost stories and Nancy Drew mysteries. At the heart of this creative and intensely energetic writer is her purposeful compassion that launched an advocacy of the anti-human trafficking movement.

Annette is a graduate of Purdue University and a retired professional interior designer, having enjoyed a gratifying 34-year career. As a way to continue sharing beauty and good design, Annette owns Valentine House, a unique gift boutique in Franklin, Tennessee. She lives near Nashville with her husband Walt. They have two grown children, six grandchildren, and a beloved Boxer named Heidi.
