Victoria was brave enough to share some things we might not guess about her, so let's turn the floor over to her!
1) At age 17 I spent the better part of a year as an exchange student in Finland
2) I've been married to a giant for almost 30 years. (I am 5' 4" and 122 pounds and my husband is 6'6" in his bare feet and 240 pounds)
3) I am acrophobic, claustrophobic, swinophobic, and coulrophobic ( The last two refer to fear or abhorrence of pigs and clowns!)
4) Although I have begun writing romantic comedy that readers think is hilarious, I can't tell a joke to save my life. I screw up the punch line every stinking time!
5) I am an insomniac. That, thankfully, is highly compatible with my current profession
6) Prior to publishing my first novel, I was laid off from my job after 16 years working in diagnostic medical imaging.
7) I play the Celtic harp (for fun) but I can't read music and have severe performance anxiety
8) I am a lifelong horse lover. I have owned over a dozen horses in my life and have trained and shown them as well as teaching other to ride. I currently own an Arabian and a Quarterhorse.
9) I have a natural ear for languages. At age 18 I was accepted for linguistics training for the US Air Force which spurred my then boyfriend to propose. We got married and I did not go into the Air Force. Happily, we are still wed. (see giant above!)
10) The stupidest thing I ever did was to hitch-hike above the Arctic circle in the month of December. (see exchange student story above!)
