Pettersson: - Vicki Pettersson is a Las Vegas native who always loved to read and write. A post-college stint in public relations quickly revealed that was *not* a good fit for her, so she did what any self-respecting Vegas girl would do: she became a showgirl by night . . . and a closet novelist by day.Fast forward a decade and she also became an instant NYT Bestseller with her "Signs of the Zodiac" fantasy series. A paranormal-noir trilogy, "Celestial Blues," quickly followed before she moved to thrillers with SWERVE: a high-octane cat-and-mouse thriller.After a decade of living part-time in Dallas, Texas, Vicki is back to living--and writing--full-time in her beloved hometown.
