About The Violet War

The Violet War is a series of books, based on urban fantasy setting designed by author Monica Valentinelli which takes place in the tri-state area of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois. The basis for the setting originates from world myth themes combined with more specific areas loosely inspired by history including (but not limited to): Chinese dynastic circles, early astrology, punitive models of incarceration, genetic engineering, events like the historic World’s Fair, and Alchemy. Monica’s writing style has been heavily influenced by a blend of Shakespeare, postmodernist, Victorian, and genre literature.

The first book, which remains untitled, is Monica’s third attempt at marketing a novel, and will be written as a serial novel, released and formatted similarly to turn-of-the-century pulp fiction. Previously, her focus on longer works has been greatly affected by fluctuations within the publishing industry, as well as personal time dedicated to other writing projects and full-time employment.
