                                  Valerie's Vignettes:
 The Blog Where it Started, at www.ValorenaOnline.com 
                      
​     Since 2010, this digital publication has been a platform for feature stories, essays, musings and commentary about things "momentous and mundane in the world of chocolate."
     From these posts, which have included short stories, narrative essays, reports and other "snapshots in prose," an assortment of creative projects have emerged and been chronicled.
     Examples include installation art for Figment Project - art in public spaces; short stories for Visible Ink, and  the emergence of the Cocoa Kids Collection of Children's books: "Isaiah and the Chocolate Mountain," "Eddie and the Hot Cocoa Hot Rod," and "Lorena and the Magic Mocha Mirror."
     In addition, the blog serves as a clearing house for marketing and communications related to corporate initiatives, publicity and promotional efforts of Valorena Online, L.L.C., including Indiegogo crowdfunding campaigns, Valorena Online media releases, and book reviews of children's literature. 
     Visit the blog, click through the archives, and check out the content. Then subscribe, read, and post a comment. We would love to hear from you!
