VICKI GAIA
Vicki Gaia picked up a pen and wrote her first story after opening her art
gallery in Arizona. She found that, while running a gallery provided
creative stimulation by working with artists, it prevented her from
pursuing her own artwork. Writing became her creative outlet. A laptop was
easy to cart around and take anywhere, anytime. To her surprise, a passion
grew, and words replaced her paints.
Vicki's novels are about romance but with the rules stretched. Her
characters are strong willed, flawed and lean towards the bohemian. In all
her stories, love transforms. She enjoys writing 'modern historical
fiction' - neither historical nor contemporary, but that gray area from
1910 to 1970. She does admit to writing the occasional contemporary novel!
Dear Readers,

Kenneth Hailey believes he can deal with
everything logically - even love. Until he meets Rose Red, a free-spirit
flower child who believes in loving the one you're with. And, while love
plays its part, for Kenneth, 1967 is the year he wakes up.
Kenneth Hailey, an uptight, conservative mathematician, believes
he's in control. After all, every problem can be solved in a deliberate,
logical manner - even love. When his fiancée drops him for his best friend,
he leaves Manhattan for the West Coast to start afresh. What better place
to step out of his shell. After all, it's 1967, and San Francisco is the
place to turn on, tune in, and drop out.
But is he ready for Rose Red?
Rose Red, a free-spirited flower-child, challenges Kenneth's very essence.
She itches to strip him of his button-down shirts, crew cut and thick
rimmed glasses by introducing him to her world of love-ins, protest
rallies, and rock concerts. Their worlds collide, and Kenneth finds himself
falling down the rabbit hole, hanging on for dear life! Not willing to give
up his old habits, he tries to retire into his shell, a place of security
and comfort, but Rose has other plans for him.
Set in San Francisco during the turbulent sixties, it's a story about love,
acceptance and the willingness to see the world in a new light.

 CRADLE
THE LIGHT --
Awe-Struck
e-books, May 26, 2006
A weary intelligence officer
and a struggling artist discover love in war-torn London, but
secrets and betrayal threaten to undermine their fragile bond.
"The
story and characters pull the reader into this entrancing
romance, full of deceit and pain. By the end, the reader will
come away with food for thought. Does love really conquer all,
or is that only true in fairy tales? Warring Hearts: Cradle the
Light is a promising first installment to what appears to be an
excellent trilogy."
