Valerie Anand is a British author of historical fiction who also writes under the pen name of Fiona Buckley. Under the name of Fiona, she writes historical mysteries in the Ursula Blanchard series.

One thing that Valerie is known for is her belief in the innoncence of King Richard III in the Princess in the Tower saga. She first delivered this theory in her novel Crown of Roses where she makes the point that John Alcock remained on good terms with the king which is not something that you would expect him to do if he believed that he murdered one of his former students.
