Reader, writer, Taurus. My work ranges from cozy mysteries featuring snarky detectives to contemporary middle grade fiction to magical, storytime-ready picture books. I am always exploring a new writing era.

Currently, I live and work in Toronto. Everything I do, I do for my cat.

“Riding can be especially powerful for a girl who feels like she has no power in her life, because if she can learn to control such a powerful animal, then maybe she can learn to control other things too.”
― Vikki VanSickle, The Lightning Circle

“I could see the bumps of her spine like beads on a necklace, stretched across her back.”
― Vikki VanSickle, Summer Days, Starry Nights

“Gwendolyn shrugged her narrow shoulders. They were so thin and pointy, I imagined she had a closet full of blouses and sweaters with holes in the shoulders.”
― Vikki VanSickle, Summer Days, Starry Nights
