Victoria Randall

I was born in Illinois in 1944, and graduated from Oberlin College in ’66. I’ve worked as a teacher, painter, post office sorter, salesclerk, social worker, nursing assistant, and registered nurse. I have 4 children, a stepdaughter, and 3 grandchildren. I converted to Catholicism in 1993.

I wrote The Witchstone in about 1974, The Ring of the Dark Elves in 2003, and finished the third of the Children in Hiding trilogy in 2016. There’s also a short story collection: Shadowcat: Tales from the Edge of Sleep.

A real writer is unstoppable. I’m not a real writer, but a nurse who writes part time. I’ve always felt that it was more valuable to read a story to a child, help an old man to the bathroom, or relieve someone’s post-op pain than write the great American novel. Besides the world is full of splendid writers of whom I stand in awe.
