Originally from New Zealand, Vicki Williams has led a life characterised by wide swings of fortune and ample opportunities to reinvent herself following each approach to rock bottom. Along the way, Vicki has discovered resilience, strengths and hidden talents. Her creative work encompasses becoming a life coach, movie-making, running a video production company and now, amazingly, writing books. Never one to shirk a challenge, Vicki's first book, Trust the Universe, was written in 40 hours and details the story of her up and down journey through the world and also her inspiring growth in awareness, spirituality and self-confidence. Vicki has embarked on a series involving action, murder and mayhem in a Pacific paradise called Clairemont Island. Deadly Deception and A Deathly Shade of Passion are the first two books in what promises to become an extended saga involving much loved characters and a shifting cast of angels and villains amidst the manicured gardens and stunning scenery of the island. Vicki's objectives in her writing are to provide a good read-stimulating entertainment for adults in a light-hearted melding of romance, sex, parties and friendship with the challenges of unravelling dark mysteries enmeshed in lies, drugs, violence and the all too human failings of greed, fear and weakness of character. Vicki has successfully taken other authors from story conception to publication as she mentors and teaches 'How to Write' workshops in person and online. In addition to movies and videos, Vicki has self-published three books. 'Trust the Universe' was self-published as a spiritual memoir on Amazon in September 2013. 'Memory of Your Life' a self-help keepsake book, was published in May 2015 with the help of Derek Barker from Barker Deane Publishing. (Available in person and www.vickiwilliamsauthor.com.au). 'Deadly Deception' the first of the Clairemont Island mystery series was self-published on Amazon in December 2016. www.vickiwilliamsauthor.com.au
