Vickie L. King is originally from a small town in West Virginia. She transplanted to Jacksonville, Florida in 1994, and while she loves living in the sunshine state, now and then she misses watching the seasons go through their changes, and if she closes her eyes, she can still imagine herself standing on the deck of their family home on top of the ridge, staring out over the hills and valleys that will always be a part of her.

She has four grown children, a daughter-in-law, a son-in-law, five grandchildren who melt her heart, a Chihuahua named Bentley and the best family and friends anyone could have.

Vickie is previously published in short fiction, with both romance and mystery for Woman’s World Magazine and with a romantic short story for the Sun. She is a member of RWA, and she is active in her local chapter, Ancient City Romance Authors (ACRA), where she is a past president.

Presently, Vickie is working on a third book for The Braddocks series. Carly’s Rule was released in September 2013, and Dusty’s Fate is scheduled to be released May 2014 from Bell Bridge Books. Both are contemporary romances.
