Raving Violet
Dead Mothers, Missing Husbands, Disgusting
Dates, Perverted “Reverends,” Seductive Gurus, Infamous Ingrates and Cheese
Thieves. These are a few of the cast of characters that pepper Valerie
Gilbert’s true tales in “Raving Violet.”
Enter the world of a solitary but intrepid New
Yorker. Orphaned since (relative) youth, this divorced, smartass metaphysician
has sought solace and insight from philosophers, séances, channels and mediums,
a path that has, inevitably, led her back to her formidable fortress within.
Join Valerie as she scales the castle walls on
her journey for love, sex, sass, a chuckle, and really good chocolate.
Love
and Loss! Love and Glory! Love and Nausea! “Raving Violet” has it all.
“Valerie
lives and breathes New York City and is also a gifted guide for truly magical
healing meditations. She’s Ms. New York, and my virtual sister. Damn, I’m so
proud of her! You will treasure this book, re-read it repeatedly, and tell your
friends to buy it. Yeah. She’s THAT good!”

Valerie Gilbert
Having
told funny stories her whole life, Valerie started putting them on stage as
solo shows, stand up comedy, in storytelling competitions and gigs, and finally
(saving her breath) committed them to the written page A native New Yorker and
Harvard graduate, Raving Violet is
Valerie Gilbert’s literary debut.
Actress,
storyteller, solo performance artist, tap dancer, rollerblader,
environmentalist, animal and peace activist, Valerie has given voice to her
passionate political, personal, and metaphysical beliefs in her blog, “Raving
Violet,” and here in her book of the same title. Valerie’s second book, Memories, Dreams and Deflections will be published by Black Opal in
late 2013.
