Victoria Black is an independent author working towards publishing her first novel, The Curse of Ophidia. Ever since she was a child, Victoria has loved to read. Those books filled her head with stories of fantastical lands and magic, so much so that she started to dream up her own magical worlds. She’s been daydreaming since she can remember, but didn’t begin to write down her own stories until a few years ago, when she began drafting The Curse of Ophidia.

Drafting an entire novel has been the most rewarding and challenging endeavor yet, and Victoria cannot wait for you to read her work. Deciding to publish independently was not an easy decision, but she has thoroughly enjoyed navigating all that self-publishing entails. From growing a social media presence to designing her own book cover and book map, each new challenge has been a pleasure to take on.

When she isn’t writing, Victoria enjoys spending time with her corgi Bubbles, going beer and wine tasting, and hiking around her home in Cincinnati, Ohio. She holds a B.S. in Materials Science and Engineering from The Ohio State University. Her engineering degree gets put to good use when she engineers new worlds and magic systems as well as at her day job.
