Jacqueline Vick is an author known for crafting mysteries infused with farcical situations and satirical humor. Her works often center on characters who reluctantly embrace their unconventional talents. She is the creator of "The Frankie Chandler Pet Psychic Mysteries," a series following a woman who, after years of pretending to possess psychic abilities, discovers she can genuinely communicate with animals. The concept originated from Vick's own experiences training a rescued dog with fear-based aggression, which led her to explore animal communication. She also penned "The Harlow Brother Mysteries," featuring siblings Edward and Nicholas Harlow - one a former college linebacker turned etiquette ghostwriter, the other his beleaguered assistant.
Vick's writing career includes notable achievements such as her debut mystery, "Family Matters," which was a semifinalist in the 2009 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Competition. Her short stories have appeared in publications like "Future Mystery Anthology Magazine" and "The Best of Everyday Fiction Two Anthology." Her novella "Lovely As," part of "The Harlow Brother Mysteries," earned recognition as a finalist for the Black Orchid Novella Contest. Beyond writing, Vick enjoys caring for neighborhood dogs and experimenting with new recipes, much to her husband's amusement.
