“Watch your words, witch.” His grin was wide and Angeline caught a glimpse of his fangs as they crept from under his lips. As his animalistic stare caught her in it, sweat dripped down his temple. “Cursing a demon can be costly I hear. I have heard there’s a hellish recoil for attempting to curse other magical beings.

About the Author

A Summary of Fantastical Adventures

Valerie Willis is an award-winning dark fantasy romance author, expert typesetter, and co-founder of 4 Horsemen Publications Inc., where she’s designed hundreds of book interiors and covers that bridge gothic elegance with digital versatility. Known for her commanding presence on stage and deep genre knowledge, she’s a frequent guest speaker, panelist, and workshop host across the Southeast—sharing everything from book design secrets to monster lore.

 

Whether she’s co-hosting paranormal deep dives on the Eerie Travels Podcast or sipping cocktails with fellow creatives on Drinking with Authors, Valerie blends intellect and intrigue with her signature love for myth, monsters, and the macabre.

 

Her novels are steeped in mythological roots, dark history, and folkloric creatures—many plucked straight from Medieval Bestiaries—earning her the unofficial title of “Accidental Guru of Monsters, Myths, and Mayhem.”

 

Under V.C. Willis, she pens the Traibon Family Saga, an MM Dark Fantasy Romance praised for its rich character arcs and morally gray heroes. For readers craving steamy, laugh-out-loud urban legends with a spicy twist, look no further than Honey Cummings, where erotica meets cryptids and fairy tales in the most unexpected ways.
