The recognition represents not just a moment of celebration but a milestone in her journey as an author, reflecting her passion and perseverance in developing her craft.
Vicki M. Taylor writes dramatic fiction with strong, unforgettable, real women characters involved in real life situations. She attacks the hard issues and brings them to the forefront with a deftness that outshines most other authors.
No issue is too controversial for Vicki. Murder, teenage suicide, domestic violence and more. You’ll find Vicki M. Taylor’s stories not only give you the harsh realities of the character’s life but she wraps you up in their private emotional lives as well – daring you not to care, not feel, not read.
Despite battling Major Depressive Disorder, General Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, Panic Attacks, OCD, PTSD, Mild Cognitive Disorder and Binge Eating Disorder, Vicki manages to continue writing. Her themes reflect her mood. Currently, she is working on a compilation of short stories that reflect the ups and downs in her life.
Vicki lives in an airport community in Florida with her husband, their Champion American Hairless Terriers, and Sun Conure parrot. For relaxation, Vicki uses many of the color by number iPad applications, do Word Search puzzles, read, collect and watch movies, play games with her husband, create electronic marketing materials for her works and manages a very large fairyland “garden” in her office. Vicki collects teddy bears, angels, frogs, dragons, and pictures of her beautiful grandchildren, of which she has six.
