She had a good mother, also a multi-talented professional, who taught her to adapt to change. Music was always a big part of Reddin family life and continues to provide inspiration and comfort for her creative adventures.
Curious about the dark and light corners of the mind, Vicki earned her degree in psychology from University of Prince Edward Island, where she was introduced to the concepts of Eros, the life force, and Thanatos, the death wish. Her life experiences have given her much opportunity to think about both. Now she explores the light and the dark in her writing, while finding the humour along the way.
Some favorite childhood books have nagged at her to write all of her life. They include "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn", "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter", and "Apple Tree Lean Down". Her favourite humourist would be the inimitable British novelist Sue Townsend. Contemporary authors whose work she admires include JoJo Moyes, Miriam Toews and Donna Morrissey.
Vicki resides in Rustico, a beautiful coastal community on the North Shore of Prince Edward Island. Having raised several businesses (some successfully, some not so) and three lovely daughters (all successfully) with her husband Sonny, Vicki is now free to follow her passion for writing. Vicki is currently working on her autobiographical book "C is for Cancer, C is for Caregiver".view less
