About Victoria

Writer

Speaker

Animal Advocate

Spiritual Adventurer

What is your favorite word? Irrepressible. It reminds me that I’m supposed to bounce back. Every time.

Best story: I had a $1 press card from Teen Life magazine. I took it seriously and got into my first Beatles press conference at 14. When I was 17, Paul McCartney bought me a drink. I thought, “You have to keep up with this writing thing. It makes miracles happen.”

What’s your astrology? Aries sun, Taurus moon, Sagittarius rising — March 21, 1950, Kansas City, Missouri, 11:45 pm.

Most meaningful movie? Auntie Mame, the 1958 Rosalind Russell original, set in 1930s Manhattan. Mame, a fashionable free-thinker with a heart of gold, was my childhood role model. Still is.

“When you cease limiting your possibilities, you can live so every day brings gifts as welcome as a check in the mail.”

inspirational author

When reading the New York Times, I keep a dictionary nearby because I’m sure to come upon a word I don’t know. A year or so ago I learned in this way that the word oeuvre means in English the full collection of a writer’s or composer’s works.

After I learned the word, I lined up all my books—every edition, and a couple of out-of-print guided journals too —and took this picture. If you click here, you’ll go to my Books and Articles page, where you can explore a bit about each one, and find links to some recent articles of mine as well.

If you prefer to start by looking ahead, click here to get a glimpse of Age Like a Yogi, the book I intend to write next.
