Hi Everyone, oops... I didn't even see this thread before. I apologize for this somewhat late introduction Wow! I thought everyone in here knew vicki! Everyone seems very close to one another. I should have known it was the love of her books that brought everyone together. I found her books through someone's review blog. I love her series and was so happy to find something that was totally unique in this genre. I can't wait for the 6th book and any other future books. I am from Guam/Palau (islands in the pacific), but have been living in Seattle for the past 7 years. I was in a domestic violence situation and fled Georgia (where we were stationed before) to Washington's battered women shelter. From there I started from scratch and tried my best to build a better life for my children. It has been one of the scariest times of my life, but I got through it and stronger than ever today. That divorce has been a blessing to my children and I. I have 3 children, a boyfriend, and no pets. I love books obviously and makeup. BTW vicki, really love the smokey look on the back of your books. whoever did your makeup did an awesome job It really looks amazing. I work as a medical biller on the insurance side. It's not interesting at all I sometimes go to bed dreaming of numbers! Because I am so busy with work and kids, I attend college via online for the convenience. I have 1 year left!Gosh it feels like it's been forever. oh yeah... and I can hula dance <<< that didn't fit anywhere. It's been nice reading about everyone and I can't wait to get to know all of you better. Have a good night.

Tanya, Welcome to the VPeeps! We like cocktails and cupcakes, and chatting while watching True Blood. Yes, we know we're weird. LOL!
Actually some of us did know Vicki (and each other) before Raven nagged Vicki to let her start this board. We are pretty tight, but love newcomers...so pull up your keyboard, sit in a comfy chair, and get ready for some snarky fun.

Awww, welcome back, Foxbat. I'm lurking through the shadows of college myself. Best of luck to you!
Tanya, it's okay. Glad you made it to the intros. Sorry you've been through such hell. But I'm glad to see you've made it out. You're all the stronger for it, I'm sure. You've got great taste in books, for one. And an AWESOME place to hang out right here! I hope you stay a long time!

Hi everyone and especially Vicki. I have really enjoyed reading your books. I accidentially stumbled onto them while reading Kim Harrison's Hollow's Series. She wrote a short story in Holiday are hell. After I finished reading hers, I read the rest. I liked Zoe so much that I went to find you. I requested them all from the library, but mine did not carry them. THey have an interloan library that searches the entire state, which is very cool. I was able to get all the books except the anthology about Skammer. It has taken me 6 months to read them all simply because of the extra wait time, but it was so worth it. Now I want to read them again and I may have to buy them. I don't want another 6 months wait. I see that the final chapter is coming and it will be said to see the series go as you've taken me from intrig, love, heartbreak, and courage. Oh and I must forget the Vegas you gave me too. Your imagination kept me up to the wee hours of the night. Thank you so much! A bit about me, I'm a stay at home mom to 2 children (7 and 4), both of whom love to read books. In my little spare time, I love to read, scrapbook, dance, garden, and catch up on some sleep. I still waiting on the how to book to bottle my kids's energy.

Welcome to the insanity, Marcie. Pour yourself a cocktail, pick out a cupcake, and fasten your seatbelt...it is sure to be a bumpy ride in the VPeep van since I'm the driver. LOL!
Do not despair...although Jo's story is coming to an end, Vicki has a trilogy in the works. She was telling us something about it the other day...oh, yes...here's what she said.
Celestial Blues is a dark fantasy trilogy featuring a whole new world and cast of characters. Unlike my lone UF heroine, Joanna Archer, Celestial Blues features a partnership between a supernatural private eye and a rockabilly reporter with a real nose for trouble. Despite the narrative shift, rest assured that the dark worldbuilding, the noir Vegas setting, and the imaginary hairpin turns are all still firmly in place.
It’s set to debut in 2012 and I can’t wait to share it with you.

Howdy and welcome. I see Shrimpmate has helped settle you in. If you visit Kim's Drama Box much, then you may have seen me a time or two.

Welcome Marcie! I, too, would love to bottle kids' energy.
You're in good company. We love Kim *and* Vicki here.
I found Vicki when the blurb from Kim and Charlaine Harris on the front compelled me to pick up her books, so I did! And I'm sooo glad. I love her.
