A Little Bit More About Me

Valerie is a rancher's wife, teacher, writer, crew cook, quilter, reader and Nana. She
and her husband, Cowboy Poet Floyd Beard, live in Southeast Colorado and run
cattle to stay honest. They also keep a few cats around to stay humble. Valerie and
Floyd are situated twelve cattle guards from the pavement and though they are not
at the end of the world, you can pretty much see if from the south pasture. She has
been writing poetry for about ten years but thinking about it for her lifetime. Her
first cowboy poetry CD, "No Better"; was released in 2022 and folks seem to like
it. She is also featured in a poetry book, "Four Aces and a Queen" and in the
companion CD to this book.
