Hi!

I'm Vikki and I'm an Indie Author writing cozy-ish mysteries.

My current WIP is the first book in my 'Nova Naismith Mysteries' series. You can read the blurb to 'Bluebell Murder' by clicking here.

If you enjoy cozy-ish mysteries that are set in the darker corners of english village life and led by a mid-life, whip smart woman sleuth, then my books are for you!

Along with a satisfying book length mystery to dig into, you can also expect a series long cold case arc as well as a slow burn romance subplot in this series.

A little bit more about me

I'm a mum and I also live with chronic illness (stage 4 endometriosis).

I love reading across the mystery genre and I'm usually fuelled by coffee and some dark humour.

I am trying to be better with updating my reads on Goodreads - if you would like to connect there, here is my page.

Prior to turning my focus to writing fiction, I was a full-time academic for over a decade, working as a Politics Lecturer and I then ran my own writing coaching practice working with women academics.

I'm on somewhat of a social media sabbatical in 2026, but you can still find me on Instagram, TikTok & writing longer form on Substack where I share personal essays about being a chronically ill mum building her indie author life.

I also run a small shop for writers with printables, stickers, notepads, mugs and other tools and treats for writers - check out the links below for products and more details.
