Vickie Taylor

Vickie Taylor wrote her first novel in 1997. Upon completion, she was too chicken to give the manuscript to anyone she knew to read, so she sent her baby off to a few contests to get some anonymous feedback instead. Little did she know how her life was about to change: a few months later, she had won all four of the Romance Writers of America chapter contests she'd entered, was a Golden Heart finalist and had sold the book to Silhouette Intimate Moments!

Since then, Vickie has written numerous romantic suspense novels for Silhouette Books, garnering such recognition as the Daphne du Maurier Award of Excellence in Romantic Suspense, a four-and-a-half star "Top Pick" review in Romantic Times, and a coveted RWA Rita nomination for her work.

This year, Vickie started a new chapter in her writing career, debuting in the paranormal subgenre in the anthology BITE with her novella "Blood Lust," which Publishers Weekly said was "by far one of the collection's best offerings." "Blood Lust" was followed in June by CARVED IN STONE, a single title paranormal from Berkley Sensation. FLESH AND STONE, the sequel, is scheduled to hit the shelves in early 2006.

Vickie lives in a small town in north Texas dubbed "The Heart of Horse Country" where she rounds out her writing days raising horses, volunteering with the local Humane Society, and serving on a K-9 search and rescue team.
