The Last Voyage of the Cosmic Muffin was written, published and book tour down the east coast completed. Now it is time to buckle down on the story about what happened next.
Don't ask me why I was overcome with this urge to make a better potato chip. Maybe because I grew up in the town where the chip originated, but I doubt that was the inspiration. Maybe because I recently saw a chip factory featured on "How Do They Make That?" and me, with my manufacturing acumen, took a shot at it. But most likely, I had a few potatoes, some oil, it was raining and the Trans Fat Police were down at the local donut shop.
Born and raised near Saratoga Springs, New York, Valerie Perez first joined the US Army and spent three years in Alaska as a photo lab technician. She earned her undergraduate degree in business from Georgia State University in Atlanta and an MBA from the University of Michigan and was a managing partner with Design Management Alliance until she got a bug up her butt and decided to be a writer. Good luck with that!!
Shortly before her fiftieth birthday, she joined the Peace Corps fulfilling a lifelong dream. She was sent to the Federated States of Micronesia where she worked with disadvantaged youth.
The author has traveled and hiked through South America, Nepal and Thailand and now lives in Hawaii.
