VL Stuart holds a degree in English and has a long history of writing poetry, essays, and newspaper columns. Her column Life is a Tropical Garden, (as Victoria Torley) has been running in amcostarica.com for eight years and she edited the newspaper for two of those years before turning her attention to writing novels. “Orb and Arrow: Exploration” is now available on Amazon.

As the administrator of the FB page, Marketing for Indies, (Marketing for Indies | Facebook), Victoria has earned a reputation for researching valid and scam publishers and providing open-handed information on independent publishing. Her promise read a promoted book weekly (Book Promo Friday on FB) and review it or comment to the author has been well received.
