Vicki Pettersson

Vicki Pettersson was born and raised in Las Vegas. A post-college stint in public relations convinced her that working on assignment wasn't for her, so she did what any self-respecting Vegas girl would do: She became a showgirl by night, and a closet novelist by day. A decade later she became an "instant" bestseller with the release of the first book in her dark fantasy series, The Scent of Shadows. Still residing in Sin City, where a backyard view of the Strip regularly inspires her to set down her martini and head back to her computer, she is currently hard at work on the next installment in the Signs of the Zodiac series.
