Valentina Cano is an author whose multicultural upbringing and unique living environment have deeply influenced her writing. Born in Uruguay to Italian and Latino parents, she spent twenty-three years in Miami before relocating to a historic Victorian watermill in Italy, a setting that has inspired her work. Her debut novel, "The Rose Master" (2014), published by REUTS Publications, LLC, earned praise from Publishers Weekly as "a strong, satisfying effort." Her subsequent works include "Aleister Blake" (2022), released by Journal Stone’s Trepidatio Publishing, and the forthcoming "Sanctuary," set for publication in April 2024.
Cano’s writing often blends gothic and supernatural elements, reflecting her fascination with history and atmospheric settings. Her secluded Italian home, a restored Victorian watermill, serves as both a creative sanctuary and a muse for her storytelling. Beyond her novels, she documents her restoration journey and life in Italy through her blog, Il Vecchio Mulino delle Rocche. With a career marked by evocative prose and immersive worlds, Cano continues to captivate readers with her darkly enchanting narratives.
