V.J. Hamlet

Born in San Francisco, raised in Sacramento, Vina now lives with her family in Northern California.

Aside from being an avid Sherlock Holmes fan, a novice ghost hunter and an American History junkie, Vina likes to carve stamps, go LBing, scrapbook, write books (obviously), watch scary movies and loves a good mystery-be it puzzle, book or movie.

She loves a tall glass of Dr. Pepper and/or a hot pippin' cup of delicious tea.

She enjoys Mikuni’s Sushi, most of what Jeff cooks, and tasty zucchini bread with walnuts.
