Vickie has been telling stories since she was a child. She's from a small town in Northwest Georgia and has always dreamed of being a writer. She finally realized she was a writer and started sharing her storytelling with others. She has edited a biography written by a native survivor of the Korean War, and recently published a short story, entitled Broken Shells are Beautiful, in the online publication, Lady Literary Magazine. She is a member of Calhoun Area Writers and the Association of Writers & Writing Programs. She publishes stories about her family ancestors to a Facebook page called the Stansell Family History, and has a blog called A Literate Life, which can be found at aliteratelife.blogspot.com. When she is not reading and writing, she loves planting, pruning and picking produce from her fruit and vegetable gardens. She loves her grown children, and will drop whatever she's doing to spend time with either of her two sons or her daughter.
