Valerie's Vignettes
​The Blog that Started It All.  
​

​     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."

​www.ValorenaOnline.com

     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." 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!
