Vicki
Hinze's first published novel, a
romantic suspense, was a best seller that sold in nearly
a dozen
foreign countries. Since then, she's shifted her writing
focus several times. After co-creating the first single-title
open-ended continuity series, she turned to military life
and has been credited with a Career Achievement Award
for being one of the first to write military romantic
suspense, military romantic intrigue, and military romantic
thrillers. Her willingness to take risks and blaze trails
has won her many prestigious nominations and awards.
Vicki holds a master of arts in creative writing
and a doctorate in philosophy, theocentric business, and ethics.
She actively lectures on writing craft and technique and philosophy.
Her articles have appeared many respected publications and
e-zines (Novelists, Inc.; Romantic Times; Romance Writers'
Report; The Outreacher; The Rock; and others) and have been
extensively reprinted in as many as sixty-three foreign markets.
She has coordinated and/or judged national and international
writing competitions, has served on various writers' association
committees, has been honored by Romance Writers of America
with their National Service Award, and in 2004 was named PRO
Mentor of the Year.
Vicki is a charter
sponsor of International Thriller Writers (ITW) and a member
of The Authors Guild; Novelists, Inc.;
Romance Writers of America; Mystery Writers of America; Published
Authors Network; Emerald Coast Writers; and other writing
