All About Victoria

Victoria’s love of writing began in grade school, where she won an award for a Mother’s Day essay. She spent the better part of her childhood with her head in a book. In high school, she wrote love stories for her friends in which they’d meet their favorite bands or the movie star they had a crush on. Suffice it to say, Victoria was writing fan fiction before fan fiction was a thing. After spending many years starting and stopping writing in various genres, Victoria returned to her high school roots and decided to write romance.

Victoria Hamel lives in the Chicago area with her husband, three college-age kids and Bowie the dog. She has run three marathons and based on that experience, she feels qualified to say that reviewing her manuscript for errors was a more arduous task than literally running a marathon. She is a member of the Chicago North Romance Writers Group. When she isn’t writing, Victoria volunteers for local democrat candidates, watches K-Dramas, or can be found blogging.

No Gouda Without You is her debut novel and the first book in the Marley Creek Romance series. Book two, Too Kölsch For Comfort was released in April 2024. Is This Love Fur Real? rounded out 2024. In January 2025 the fourth book in the series, It App-ened One Night will be released.
