Vicki Lewis Thompson

Vicki Lewis Thompson is the New York Times Bestselling author of the "Nerd" Series.

Author Bio

Taking Dolly Parton’s advice to "find out who you are and do that on purpose," New York Times bestseller Vicki Lewis Thompson looked deep within herself and discovered Groucho Marx in drag.

Vicki’s an eight-time finalist for the RITA and has won many chapter contests. Her first mainstream romance, Nerd in Shining Armor, became Kelly Ripa’s pick for her book club in 2003. That exposure shot Vicki onto all the bestseller lists and launched the popular nerd series.

Instead of resting on her nerd laurels, Vicki’s writing paranormal romances for NAL. Set in the fictional town of Big Knob, the series features a large granite spire, a matchmaking witch and wizard, and a dragon who’s ADD. Vicki’s credentials for writing paranormal include a New England ancestor accused of witchcraft, a love of potions – especially those concocted in a martini shaker – and a fondness for black cats.

Wild & Hexy, the second book in Vicki's Hex series, is in stores June 3, 2008.

Hex Titles

• Wild & Hexy - June 2008 from NAL

Nerdy computer whiz Jeremy Dunstan has wanted Annie Winston since high school, but back then, he lacked the courage to woo her. Now fate has given him a second chance; Annie is returning to Big Knob for her younger sister's wedding, and Jeremy's the best man. Unfortunately, coming face to face with the woman of his dreams still has the power to turn his genius brain to mush. Perhaps what he really needs is a touch of magic.

• Over Hexed - October 2007 from NAL

Banished. Until their unconventional techniques landed them in hot water, Dorcas and Ambrose were the matchmaking sex therapists for lovelorn witches and wizards. The Grand High Wizard has exiled them to the very conventional and unmagical town of Big Knob, Indiana, Pop. 947. But that doesn’t mean they’ve given up matchmaking…

Now they’re doing it for mere mortals—although all agree: Sean Madigan is something of a god. Because he’s tired of being the town sex object, Dorcas and Ambrose strip him of his appeal and then introduce him to his destiny, Maggie Grady. This time winning a girl’s heart won’t be so easy for Sean. It means rediscovering the charms buried beneath a gorgeous surface.
