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.

Hi Gretchen,

Thanks for asking! Your comments truly blessed me. :-)

I guess it's not a simple answer. I worked for DOE and DOD for a time and picked up a lot about military, government, and the Manzano Weapons Storage Facility. I also worked in the semiconductor manufacturing industry, as did my husband. He and I did a lot of brainstorming on the nanomite manufacturing process--that was a lot of fun, actually. The rest was simple research. The "trick" is folding it into the story, and I love that part.

Hugs,

Vikki(less)

Hi Marg,

Thanks for writing to me! I just looked, and Rose of RiverBend is listed with my other books, but not listed in the series. Someone else added it, and Goodreads is somewhat daunting to me!

“After each sentence he paused, just a bit. Each pause made me want to beg him, Please do not stop! And he did not. He shouted, “God give his Son fo’ the rich, and God give his Son fo’ the poor. “God give his Son fo’ the high, and God give his Son fo’ the low. “God give his Son fo’ the black man, and God give his Son fo’ the white. “God give his Son fo’ all men—we’s all equal in his sight! “Yea, an’ I say! “God give his Son fo’ the drunks. God give his Son fo’ the thieves. “God give his Son fo’ you, and God give his Son fo’ me.”
Vikki Kestell, Tabitha

“That’s another thing I love here,” Rose reflected, smiling to herself. “People love people, not things and social status.”
Vikki Kestell, A Prairie Heritage: The Early Years

“Repentance isn’t the ugly, hard, mean thing the world has said it is. Repentance is a gift from God, the first step in his setting us free. Repentance pulls down the strongholds in our lives. When repentance has its full sway, Jesus is able to free us from fear and condemnation.”
Vikki Kestell, Stealth Triumph
