VICTORIA TRIFU:  Born in Flushing Queens NYC, most of Victoria’s childhood was spent in New York, however she also lived in Michigan and for a time in New Jersey. That was before her family relocated to Virginia where she now resides and attends school for nursing. Victoria discovered her love of writing at a young age. She gives thanks to those tedious writing workshops required in Elementary school. She wrote her first short story when she was seven and has been writing ever since. Now she says her writing has progressed and “matured” with time. She enjoys writing short stories, poems and is working on a few new “potential novels.” Writing is a passion of hers and while doing so she always tries to let go of competition and expectation simply letting the pen hit the pad and the words flow… Feel Free to Fly, her first novella, was released February 18, 2008. Her newest work, Sharie’s New Friend, a children's book, has been recently released.
