This book, the sequel to Very Valentine, is not Adriana’s first round of series fiction. She’s previously written The Big Stone Gap series, as well as recently started a book series for young adults that began with Viola in Reel Life. She’s also the author of the standalone novel Lucia, Lucia; a novel which is fictionally being made into a film during the events of Brava and indirectly factors into the plot. I won't tell you much about it, but know that there are some serious shoes involved.

 

A New York City native, Adriana centers much of the initial locations that take place during Brava, Valentine in Greenwich Village where the author currently resides. The daughter of a librarian, Adriana was a writer for the television programs The Cosby Show and A Different World before striking out on her own as a novelist. Please join us next week when the lovely and gracious Adriana will join us to answer a few questions about this book.
