Victoria has a remarkable talent for creating big, loveable animal characters and immersing readers in the animal’s authentic point of view. While her primary motivation is to entertain, she deeply believes that learning to appreciate perspectives other than our own has the power to change the world.

A native New Englander and imaginary New Yorker, Victoria lives in Boston and her hometown of Duxbury, MA. If not reading or writing, she is most often exhibiting her “I’m just here to have fun” dance moves or happily dive-flopping in the sea.
