Barney Cohen producer on board to make Vickie series of books a TV show



I am very excited to announce that my Vickie series of books have caught the attention of a Hollywood producer of TV and movies.  Barney Cohen has a long resume in writing/producing including; FRIDAY THE 13TH: THE FINAL CHAPTER, GUERNICA, FOREVER KNIGHT, SABRINA THE TEENAGE WITCH,
NEXT DOOR and the list goes on and on.  Having Barney on board putting together my Vickie series of books into a TV show brings great credit to this becoming a reality.  My many thanks to him and Leni Rico for her tireless efforts in helping work on this as well.  Also on board is my friend Nicole Andani who brings her sage wisdom that has helped me make the books a reality themselves.  Hopefully as the momentum builds more will come aboard to make this TV series happen and be awesome.

All I need is you

This is my first book written, Vic/Tim.  It took me two years to write after it had been shelved as a short story for eight years.  It is kind of hard to genre.  Is it a psychological thriller, a self-help fiction story, or just a book in limbo?  Hard to say really.  Will it and its companion series books get picked up by a big publishing house?  I would love it.  Will it be made into a TV series?  I have dreamed of it and even have the theme music picked out ha!  I really do not know where the journey ends for my character Vickie or this series.  There are so many it competes with.  So many great and wonderful books that are edited to perfection and polished in appearance.  How can you be heard among thousands of voices?  It just takes the right person to believe in it for just a moment.  That is all I need.

Are you tough enough to read about Vickie ad


Simple ad that we passed out at the Katy Rice Harvest Festival last year.  It yielded some good so we used it in a facebook ad.  That generated a lot of hits to the website.  I guess the challenge it proposed intrigued people because these books are tough to handle for some people.  Although at the festival there was one lady that thought I was soliciting tattoo services and asked; "would you put a bumper sticker on a Lexis."  It is a good lesson on being careful how you advertise.

Vickie's Beginning



The book Vickie is her start from a young age to her first jobs out of college.  It is the beginning of her path to destiny.  The hardships and heartbreaks all prepare her for what she must do.  She is tough, smart and the fire of hard events forge her to be an instrument of justice.  She is Valkyrie to some and nightmare to others.  Whatever you may think she is, she is just Vickie to herself.

Will Violet have this look when Vickie starts in on her?  Violet book is coming soon.  You can catch up on Vickie in her series.  Vickie, Valkyrie and Vic/Tim available in paperback, hardcover, ebook, audiobook and in various languages online everywhere.


Thank you for your service and sacrifice.


Meet Pastor John Austin in the book Valkyrie


Pastor John Austin is a minister of a megachurch.  Popular and a well-known TV evangelist but has run into a severe publicity problem and now employs the help of a marketing company, a company that Vickie works for in the book Valkyrie.  Seems Pastor Austin has been caught in a scandal and if he loses his audience it could mean the end of his megachurch.  Vickie is not religious but a client is a client.  However when she gets involved in understanding the complexity of this preacher’s problem, things are not as they always appear.  Vickie must do more than redeem a public figure in trouble in the public’s eyes but take on the deep dark secret hidden within.  Read all about Pastor John Austin and his secret in the book Valkyrie, available everywhere online and in audiobooks as well as various languages.


Meet John in the book Vickie and Vic/Tim



John is a fun guy, smart, caring and loves alcohol a great deal.  In the book Vickie he becomes her boyfriend.  Vickie cares for John a great deal but can’t stand his constant drinking.  So why would Vickie care so much for John and his issues?  Maybe he is just too fun or maybe because her dad was an alcoholic too.  So what will she do about John, and will John ever straighten up?  Read all about John in Vickie and Vic/Tim books available everywhere online and in audiobooks as well as various languages.


Meet Tim in the book Vic/Tim



Meet Tim, he is a simple assuming man.  You may not notice him in a crowd but he notices you.  You see Tim likes to stalk women on occasion.  However he stalked the wrong woman this time named Vickie in the book Vic/Tim.  You see Vickie is a powerful lady that seeks revenge on those that wrong her or those she cares about.  All Vickie wanted to do was lay low and live a life of peace and serenity for once.  Tim broke that peace and interrupts her life in a big way.  He has stirred feelings in Vickie that she has not felt in many years.  So now Tim is a special project for her.  Read all about what Vickie does to Tim in the book Vic/Tim and find out who the spider and the fly really are.

The darkness around Vickie



When I first wrote the book Vic/Tim I had no idea how it would be received. Most loved it and said they could not put it down. Several told me they liked the book but hated the Vickie character. No matter which side you are on about the Vickie series of books, it tends to generate emotions. They are not timid books by any means. They deal with real life hard issues, some of which have happened to people. Vickie exposes and dispenses her brand of justice on people and things she feels deserve it, or at least are in her way. These books may take you to some very dark places but rest assured they will deal with that abyss for you. Will the Vickie books sell millions of copies? I have no idea what will happen. What I do know is those that have experienced them, won't soon forget about them.

What if you were meant for a bigger purpose?



What if one day you realize you are meant for a bigger purpose?  You have denied thinking it but it is becoming obvious.  That is what it is like for Vickie in the so named series of books.  Vickie is powerful and determined.  Read about her life so far in the books Vickie, Valkyrie and Vic/Tim.  See why these books are being translated in multiple languages.  The feedback I have received from translators and narrators is this story of Vickie is moving and strong.  They love it and at times have had to stop to let the feelings pass in order to keep working.  Don't miss the opportunity to experience Vickie's story for yourself.
