B. Vale
B. Vale built a career in technology, but agriculture was always the other pull — years spent working a 2.5-acre homestead, close enough to the land to know what it actually takes to grow something and keep it alive, season after season. That double vantage point, half circuit board and half soil, shapes everything they write.
Now retired, B. Vale lives a nomadic life, unattached to any one place, and makes a point of showing up wherever their grandchildren are, every chance they get.
The Verdi Series is where a career in technology and a lifelong pull toward the land finally found a home — stories about what gets lost when things change too quickly, what holds on, and who does the holding. Roots of Resilience is the debut novel in the series.
