[edit] Biography
Vicki was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada on November 26, making her a Sagittarius like her Zodiac series protagonist, Joanna Archer. She was a showgirl for “Les Folies Bergere” for 10 years at the Tropicana before giving up show business to be a mother and author.[1]
Vicki first tried writing historical fiction, but somehow it didn’t quite fit. She found her calling in Dark Urban Fantasy. She named a casino “Valhalla” in her books as a sort of homage to her historical fiction roots.
As strange as it may seem, the unique idea for the Zodiac series came to Vicki in a dream. [2] She chose Las Vegas as the setting for her Zodiac series because she says, “it's the best possible place in the world for strange characters, and because I know it well.” [3]
In her spare time, Vicki likes running, reading, spending time with family and friends and always tries to find time for a good cocktail.
