Biography
Inna Valerie Lyon
Inna Valerie Lyon is a Russian bumpkin raised on a steady diet of cabbage and potatoes peppered with the required reading of Chekhov and Dostoevsky.
Inna works as an accountant and specializes in producing colorful aging reports and cute collection letters.
Between work, sports, three book clubs, and busy community life, she finds time to write creative shopping lists and occasional short stories in different genres. Inna is working on her first middle-grade novel about English Grammar, of all things.
