Vickie Oddino

Vickie Oddino has been writing nonfiction narratives and essays since the early 2000s. This is her first full-length nonfiction book. Although she has now turned her attention to writing full time, she was an English professor for twenty-five years, teaching courses in composition, literature, journalism, and business writing. She earned her Bachelor of Journalism at the University of Missouri-Columbia and her Master of Art in English Literature at California State University-Northridge.

She currently lives in Chicago and has two grown children, a daughter also in Chicago and a son in Los Angeles. Her current roommate is the family dog, Captain, who the kids talked her into adopting ten years ago. When she isn’t writing, she is exploring the city with her camera, traveling in search of adventure, or enjoying time with friends and family.
