BIOGRAPHY

Valerie Nieman's novel, Upon the Corner of the Moon, releases in spring 2025. This is the story of the Macbeths you never knew, rightful rulers who united Scotland in the tumultuous 11th century. The second of the two ALBA books, The Last Highland King, will appear in 2027. In the Lonely Backwater, winner of the 2022 Sir Walter Raleigh Award, has been called “not only a page-turning thriller but also a complex psychological portrait of a young woman dealing with guilt, betrayal, and secrecy.” To the Bones, a horror/Appalachian/ecojustice novel, was a finalist for the 2020 Manly Wade Wellman Award, and now has a sequel, Dead Hand. She is the author of three earlier novels, a short fiction collection, and three poetry books. A graduate of West Virginia University and Queens University of Charlotte, she has held state and NEA fellowships and is professor emerita of creative writing at NC A&T State University.

      • I started reading very early, and then began writing in sixth grade. I had in aspirational teach, Ervin Milks, who brought an author to class (Allen Eckhart) and guided us in putting out a literary magazine.

      • Oh, yes! I wouldn't say my work is autobiographical, but the places I've lived, the jobs I've held, the things I've observed all end up in the books. An inscription in my high school yearbook was the spark for In the Lonely Backwater.
