BIOGRAPHY VAL AGNEW grew up in New England where she spent a year living in an evangelical school with strong cultish tendencies. When she got the courage to break free from their teachings, she packed a U-Haul and followed the warm weather to San Diego. There, she worked in the communications field and met her husband. They have one amazing nature-loving daughter.
Her travel essays have appeared in the San Diego Union Tribune and her poetry has been published in Tidepools: A Journal of Ideas at MiraCosta College. She is active with the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization with a focus on mentoring girls in military families. Her passion is haunting local and distant cemeteries in search of angel statues.
