I have been married to the same very patient man since 1975 and we have one son and three wonderful grandchildren. I'm also the primary caregiver for my mom who lives with us. We live in South Carolina, USA, and we slip away to go RVing at Myrtle Beach whenever possible. Long walks on the beach help me unwind and often ignite my imagination.I began reading and writing at an early age and thought I had died and gone to Heaven when I started school and found the library. Since then it has been my pleasure to entertain and inform others with the written word. A former technical writer and bookkeeper, I began writing articles and then romances in 1998. I am of the old school and believe that true romance tales should lead readers to the bedroom door and then leave a little something to the imagination. Though my primary focus has been on writing sweet to sensual romance with a twist of the paranormal, adventure, mystery, or suspense along the way, I am now broadening my horizons into the field of speculative fiction and experimenting with more suspense.Then in 2010 with the assistance of Laura Shinn (Cover Artist & Formatting Consultant), we launched into Independent E-book publishing with Publishing by Rebecca J. Vickery, Victory Tales Press, and Western Trail Blazer. With enthusiastic response from a varied group of multi-talented authors, cover artists, and editors, we have exceeded expectations in providing quality, affordable novels, novellas, short stories, and anthologies. I sincerely hope you will enjoy reading my stories and our published works as much as we have enjoyed creating them for you.
