Vicky Adin — Wed, 09 Mar 2022 04:19:41 +0000

I’m an avid reader, especially of stories that fit into the same genre that I like to write in. Stories that capture my heart the way I hope my writing inspires readers. Historical family sagas involving several generations, bringing to life stories of tragedy, hope, and love. One thing historical fiction authors have in common...

When Portrait of a Man became a mosaic-like mystery

Editor’s Note: This post has been updated from the original in October 2019.

Let us talk of many things: an interview with Gwenna

Vicky Adin — Mon, 18 Mar 2019 18:30:00 +0000
