Stories that get under your skin. Characters who can’t trust their own minds. Conspiracies buried just deep enough that you almost believe they’re real.
Valerie Saturday is an independent author of psychological thrillers who believes the most terrifying stories are the ones that could almost be true. Her writing lives in the space where corporate secrets, broken memories, and human resilience collide.
Her debut novel, Before I Forget, introduced readers to Claire Tenant — a woman who wakes up every morning believing it’s September 6th, with no memory of the weeks that followed a mysterious clinical trial. The book is available on Amazon KDP and as an audiobook on ElevenReader.
Her second novel, The Memory of You, continues Claire’s story as the full scope of the NeuroGen conspiracy comes to light — five trial subjects, a corporation willing to kill to protect its secrets, and a woman whose fractured memory may be the only thing that can stop them.
Valerie writes from Virginia, where she is currently at work on her next project. She is a self-published author who believes great stories don’t need gatekeepers — just readers willing to lose a little sleep.
Claire Tenant wakes up every morning believing it’s September 6th. She doesn’t know about the trial. She doesn’t know about NeuroGen. And she doesn’t know that someone is watching her — to make sure she never finds out.
The truth about NeuroGen is bigger than one woman’s missing memory. Five subjects. One dead. One missing. One who remembers too much. And Claire — who is starting to remember things that haven’t happened yet.
Detective Nora Hale has been hunting her best friend’s killer for twenty-one years — without knowing it was her own memory protecting her from the answer.
Architect Elena Abbot’s life is precision itself — until the crash that killed her twin. Now her reflection has stopped mimicking her, and it knows what really happened.
Why artificial listeners feel safer than human ones — and what we risk when we prefer predictable digital love over messy real life.
