Vikki Kestell

Vikki Kestell’s passion for people and their stories is evident in her readers’ affection for her characters and unusual plotlines. Two often-repeated sentiments are, “I feel like I know these people,” and, “I’m right there, in the book, experiencing what the characters experience.” Vikki holds a Ph.D. in Organizational Learning and Instructional Technologies. She left a career of twenty-plus years in government, academia, and corporate life to pursue writing full time. “Writing is the best job ever,” she admits, “and the most demanding.” Also an accomplished speaker and teacher, Vikki and her husband, Conrad Smith, make their home in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

"Vikki writes the kind of fiction that hooks you within the first few pages, will not let you go until you have finished, and leaves you wishing for more." --Janis Braun, Seattle, Washington "Her books are not just for 'chicks'! I was amazed how engrossed I became in the lives of Vikki's characters, and how much I could relate to their situations." --Ed Dunne, Los Angeles "Be prepared to put life on hold. That's all I have to say!" --Rebecca H., New Jersey "You will laugh, you will cry but, most of all, you will be uplifted." --LaTisha Holland, St. Augustine, FL Dear Readers, I would love to hear from you!
