Vicki Reed Sorry, I'm just now seeing this question. And it's a good one. I hope the title didn't put anyone off. We vetted a number of titles and this is the one that took. But I insisted there be a picture of a kid on the cover so readers would know it wasn't about an adult. Thanks for being a fan!
Vicki Reed I'm working on a follow-up novel to The Car Thief. It will touch on juvenile justice but will focus more closely on foster care issues. In addition, I'm working on a non-fiction book that will discuss how the Ky Department of Juvenile Justice worked with a private foster care agency to successfully place youth into therapeutic foster care instead of residential settings.
Vicki Reed My best ideas come to me when I'm doing repetitive exercising like walking and especially biking. Once a scene has popped into my head and been worked around it's a matter of siting down as soon as I can for transferring it to the computer
Vicki Reed Deep in the woods while I was cutting out invasive honeysuckle in order to free up sunlight for native plants! While I worked I talked to another volunteer who had taught in an alternative school. We started telling "kid stories". That night at 3 a.m. I began The Car Thief.
