My name is Vanesa L. Perillo, and I’m a fiction writer, environmental science researcher, and university professor. When not writing, teaching or discovering new things, I’m reading reading, cooking, zentangling, or learning a new skill. Yes, the addiction to learning does exist! I also write in a variety of genres, from dark humour contemporary crime fiction (under W. W. Tries) to fantasy cozy murder mysteries (under Vanesa L. Perillo) to environmentally-themed action adventure soft sci-fi and speculative fiction (under V. L. Perillo).
