About the author
Vickie knows first-hand the difficulties women face when trying to meet men through online dating sites. After her 26-year marriage ended she found herself spending yet another evening alone in an empty house, wanting to meet people, but not knowing how. Her married life had focused on her career and creating a happy, comfortable home for her ex-husband, and her children who were now living away at college. Her social circle of single women friends had diminished over the years. By chance she happened to see an ad for an online dating site at the bottom of her email screen. Curious, and a little apprehensive as to what it was all about, she clicked it and was surprised to see an abundance of exciting people, all seeming ready and available to reach out and meet other people!
The world opened! She booked herself a flurry of dates and began a fun, active social life! "For me it was a lifesaver", says Vickie. "I had never been a bar person, so meeting people that way wasn't really an option. I was afraid I was headed for a very reclusive lifestyle." But her positive experience with online dating proved otherwise.
Since then she has encouraged and helped many other women enrich their lives by using online dating sites; coaching them with writing their own compelling profile to attract the men they find desirable, and creating an action plan that leads to finding true love.
Vickie enjoys traveling to France in her spare time and recently lived on the French Riviera for six weeks where she wrote her very funny Bonjour Madame Blog (www.BonjourMadameBlog.com) recounting her daily challenges of living by herself in a foreign country with a very limited command of the language.
