About RG Vale
RG Vale is a psychological thriller author with a passion for exploring the darker, more complicated sides of the human mind. With a background in psychology and a fascination with human behavior, she creates suspenseful stories filled with secrets, manipulation, unreliable memories, and twists that make readers question everything they thought they knew.
But RG Vale is more than the stories she writes. She is a mother, lifelong learner, and firm believer that where you come from does not determine where you are going. After overcoming a difficult childhood and building a life she once could only imagine, she returned to school to pursue her passion for psychology and is continuing her education toward earning her doctorate.
Her life experiences, education, and understanding of human behavior all influence the characters and worlds she creates. She writes about complicated people because she believes people are complicated and sometimes the most frightening mysteries are the ones hidden inside the human mind.
When she isn’t writing her next psychological thriller, you can usually find her listening to an audiobook, studying psychology, spending time with her family, or already dreaming up the next twist her readers won’t see coming.

Explore psychological thrillers built for readers who crave shadowed motives, buried truths, and the uneasy feeling that no one is exactly who they seem.
False memory
False Memory is a psychological thriller where memory can’t be trusted—and neither can the people claiming to know the truth.
Dr. Vivian Cross is a forensic memory expert who has built her career studying the fragile line between what really happened and what the mind believes happened. When Isla Bennett confesses to four murders, Vivian is pulled into a disturbing case filled with buried memories, manipulation, and questions that become more dangerous the deeper she digs.
As Detective Hale searches for the truth, Vivian must determine whether Isla is a cold-blooded killer—or whether something far more sinister has been done to her mind.
In a story where memories can be altered and reality can be rewritten, how do you prove the truth when you can’t even trust your own past?
The Substitute
The Substitute
At a high school in Katy, Texas, a new substitute teacher seems harmless enough but something about her doesn’t quite add up.
As she becomes more involved in the lives of the students and staff around her, secrets begin to surface, boundaries blur, and the school’s seemingly ordinary hallways become the backdrop for something far more disturbing. Everyone has something to hide, and the substitute may have more reasons for being there than anyone realizes.
The Substitute is a psychological thriller filled with secrets, deception, obsession, and unexpected twists that will make you question who can really be trusted.
Because sometimes the person who doesn’t belong is the one who knows the most.
