About

Hi, my name is Vickie.

29 years old, female, single. Currently residing in Virginia. BS Zoology, MA Biology. I currently work as an interpreter in a historical state park. I love all living things, intelligent humor, classic sitcoms, 80's adventure movies, and some anime.

I've written mystery-adventures since I was ten years old. I read Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie. I am captivated by all stories/TV/movies involving detectives, heists, spies, and complex character dynamics. I am obsessed with Lupin III and Detective Conan. That is the inspiration for my comic "Used Books." (Along with my very interesting roommates, who are often stranger than fiction.)
