About

My pen name is Teresa Valle, for the tia I was named after. I am a writer of short fiction, some poetry, and was pretending to work on a full-length novel. That pretense is currently on hold.

I used to have my real name on this blog, but I’m changing that now.

Here are a few things I could share about myself or my fictional self. These things may be true:

• My favorite tea is Star of Persia.
• Guilt and pleasure are fun to write about.
• I drive a very old car.
• I prefer mayonnaise to Miracle Whip.
• TV is dull. That is not about me.
• Today I saw a dove nesting in a sconce outside an old lady’s apartment. It blinked at me, but did not fly away. What a safe apartment, I thought.
• Writing and music are initimately related for me.
• Reading is not the same as writing. Do I need to say that?
• I stayed in a resort in Bannf with my grandmother when I was a kid. I still remember the man in the table next to us lining baby peas up on his knife and eating them all in a row.
• I like soft clothes. Do all people like soft clothes?
• I do not like offices or hospitals.
• I blenderize fact and fiction unintentionally and intentionally.
• My grandfather sold books. My father made rocket ships.
• I have no sisters.
• My brothers all have enormous foreheads.
• My forehead is relatively normal, I believe.
• My iguana is primitive and has very little forehead. She is a picky eater.
• I like to sing but do not easily remember lyrics.
