Vikki Kestell’s passion for people and their stories is evident in her readers’ affection for her characters and unusual plotlines. Two often repeated sentiments are, "I feel like I know these people," and "I'm right there, in the book, experiencing what her characters experience."

Vikki holds a PhD in organizational learning and instructional technologies. She left a career of twenty-plus years in government, academia, and corporate life to pursue writing full time. "Writing is the best job ever," she admits.

Also an accomplished speaker and teacher, Vikki and her husband, Conrad Smith, make their home in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Quotes by Vikki Kestell (?)

“You may not ever be called on to save your people or nation. You may never do anything bold or dramatic. But if you have God living inside of you, the people in your life will see how God loves them too. In this way you become his instrument just as Esther was, to save someone or ones from being eternally lost.”
― Vikki Kestell, A Prairie Heritage: The Early Years: A Three-Book Boxed Set
