Vickie Hicks is a mother, film and video producer, and author.
When not working with her husband at their video production company, Vickie can usually be found reading a book, and she loves all genres and all forms (she even reads every long, long post on Facebook if they look interesting).
Although she has been a writer for two game shows, a reality TV series, ten screenplays, a documentary that won a Silver Lei Award at the Honolulu Film Festival, and countless commercial video scripts, writing a novel has always been on her bucket list, and eventually, with Adele From Scratch, it became a reality.
Dreadful Record of Sin, a suspense set near the eerie, primordial waters of Caddo Lake, is her second book.
Vickie is currently at work writing a new sci-fi/suspense novel, The Drifting Seam.
When not absorbed in writing or reading a book, Vickie loves to cook, garden, paint pictures (or pretending she can), and otherwise spending too much time on almost anything except working out.
Vickie grew up in Texas, but lived in NYC and Los Angeles before settling down in the Finger lakes region of New York with her husband and two cats, although one of the cats has anger management issues.
After catching her wealthy husband with another woman, Adele loads up her two kids and her copper cookware, and heads south for Whiskey River, a small Texas town, to move back in with her parents. They're a pair of old pot smoking hippies who, quite frankly, are insane, and they lead her into all kinds of trouble. Add to that a wide array of the town's odd, quirky characters, that either help or hinder her in her efforts, this coming-of-age (again) story explores love, friendship, delicious food and the riches one can receive through family and community.
