Valerie Davisson

Valerie Davisson, creator of the Saturday Salon, blames her father's Irish roots, which took them to 5 countries and 7 states before the age of 21, and her mother's insatiable love of books for her love of different cultures and people.

She lives in California with her husband, John. She enjoys reading, writing, art and teaching, and spending time with their 6 children and extended family.
