Vana V is an American writer who's lived a very colorful life. The creator of the Saletti Blood series, she has incorporated a great deal of her own personal experiences and tragedies into her books as a means of self-therapy. For her, writing has always been her outlet.

She currently has a second series in the works, as she feels she'll never be able to express her thoughts enough and therefore must continue writing.

Having grown up with many horses at her feet, her love for them has never stopped. She owns several horses now and has even returned to training - her own yearling her latest student, which she calls her Heart Horse (their hair color is identical, by the way). To hear her tell it, if she's not writing then she's riding. She's also very fond of pugs and owns an entire grumble, who keep her company in her office while she's typing away. And for anyone wanting to get into her good graces, she won't deny that a perfect cup of cappuccino is the only way to her heart. Her previous life in Italy has spoiled her.
