Edit ProfileEducation

Career
Mystery author Vicky Hunnings enjoyed a long and active career in medicine before becoming an author. She spent her early years in Indiana where, as a nurse, she worked with cardiac and intensive-care patients. She has also been involved in reproductive health. In 1974 she was one of the first nurses in the country trained as a nurse practitioner. After graduation, she established the first rural health clinic in Indiana staffed by a nurse practitioner where she did family practice for seven years.
In 1981 Hunnings and her family moved to Hilton Head Island in South Carolina, where she continued her work in medicine until 1998. Her fiction writing began with her retirement from medicine, but was not a completely new activity, as she had written articles on various aspects of nursing for journals and other professional publications. She joined a writers' group in South Carolina and thus began her move into the mystery genre. Her debut novel, The Bride Wore Blood, was published in 2002 by Avalon Books. The second book in the series, Death on a Cellular Level, was released in August 2003. Her most recent book, Turn of Fortune, came out in 2005.
