Vicki Reed hails from the "Horse Capitol of the World", Lexington, Ky, where she lives with her husband and son. With a degree in Law Enforcement and a Masters in Criminal Justice, she has spent decades in the child welfare and juvenile justice fields. She combined her love for horse, nature, and kids in trouble to create her first novel, The Car Thief. Car Thief went on to win 2 national/international awards.

Her newest novel, Sleight of Hand, was released in March 2025. This book follows a troubled teen in foster care and the adults who rally to turn his life around.
