About
The woman behind the soft-boys.
Hi, I'm Vikki.
I've always believed that love finds us in the most unexpected places and times.
I write small-town romance stories set in the fictional towns of Cherrywood, St. Peppers, and Spring Falls — where love is right around the corner and happily ever afters are always worth fighting for.
My books are for the lovers of love. Readers who believe in slow burns and grand gestures, who root for heroes who would cross every line for the people they love, and heroines who are finding their way, just like the rest of us.
I live a beautiful life with my husband, my first love, whom I fell in love with at sixteen and married at thirty. After years of infertility, we welcomed our miracle daughter. Our proud fur kids, Sneaky, a Mini Aussie, and Dolce, a British Shorthair cat, have claimed their roles as her elder brothers.
If you're looking for a read that will make you laugh, make you cry, and leave your heart a little fuller, I think we're going to get along just fine.

Some Things You May or May Not Know
- I didn't always want to be a writer. I loved reading as a kid, but in school I developed an interest in science and ended up with a Master's and PhD in nanophysics. I only rediscovered my love for writing when I temporarily lost my eyesight due to an autoimmune disorder. Those months forced me to think about what else I wanted to do with my life.
- Outside of writing, I work full-time as a scientist at an R&D tech company. I write in the mornings before heading to work — I've always been a morning person and can never stay awake past 10 PM.
- I am an extreme introvert. Having a pen name has given me so much power and confidence — there are only two people who actually know about my author life: my husband and my little sister.
- Even after all these books, when I reach the 75% mark in a story, I'm captured by extreme self-doubt — convinced it's the worst thing I've ever written and that no one is going to like it. I have to continuously remind myself that these characters are counting on me to get them to their happily ever after.
- I am obsessed with romantic K-dramas, especially romantasy. I've watched my favorite series and movies so many times that I can recite the dialogue by heart.
- I love nature and small towns — which is why you see so much of both in my books. My favorite places in the world are Hallstatt, Austria; Bolzano, Italy; and Berchtesgaden, Germany.
