About the author:

​

Virginia lives in Illinois. She was born into a family of ten siblings, falling in at number five, with her twin following at number six.

​

She admits to having been a closet writer in the past. With writing always on her mind, she purges those relentless thoughts by keeping a pad of paper and pen nearby (especially in the middle of the night).

 

Her passion for writing began as a young girl, when she watched an old black-and-white movie featuring a man in his attic hunched over his manual typewriter, feverishly writing a novel. The romance began!

​

A retired cost accountant, Virginia is content spending her afternoons writing, researching, and editing with her writing partners and disrupters, two Maine Coon cats. (Jax and Macky's picture's are on the left).

​

Virginia earned her first-degree black belt in karate and is a practitioner of transcendental meditation techniques, weaving those experiences into her stories. Hiking tops her list of favorite pastimes, providing the exercise and mental respite to plot the next great sentence and scene.

​

She is a member of CWA & Yorkville creative group.​
