The Making of Victoria Pinder
Born in Irish Catholic Boston, Victoria Pinder grew up with a knack for numbers, excelling in math and landing an engineering career. But her heart wasn’t in it. At 24, she pivoted to law school, only to find the legal world equally unfulfilling. Teaching high school sparked joy, but it was writing stories to unwind that ignited her true calling. Inspired by a middle school yearbook prediction that she’d become a writer, Pinder embraced her passion at 30, turning personal dreams into a prolific career.
Her journey took her from Boston to Miami’s sun-soaked shores, with stints in New Orleans, Denver, and now Pittsburgh. Each move shaped her vibrant settings, especially Miami, where her characters often cross paths in a shared fictional universe. This restless spirit and diverse background fuel her ability to craft relatable, dynamic stories.

It’s a masterclass in Pinder’s style: fast-paced, emotionally charged, and packed with family drama.
