London Valen is a pen name. I am a Black professional who brings over a decade of experience working in emergency medicine, special victims cases, military affairs, federal criminal justice and appeals, which forms the backbone of THE PRICE OF A ROSE.

I never authored this book looking for personal fame or notoriety; instead, I hope it educates and enlightens the world and gives a little inspiration to act.

THE PRICE OF A ROSE is about Rose and the real-world issues she navigates, not me.
