I'm a writer living in Northern California, retired from 12 years as a graphic artist, 8 years as a firefighter/First Responder, and 20 years as a caregiver in a hospital E.R. all of which gave me not a lot of money, but a wealth of stories to tell, and a window into the lives of people I would never have met any other way.

I’ve written and published books of – poetry: A Space Between Rains, and Essays: From Here Until Forever, and a Chapbook of stories: Inchworms, Celebrating the Small Joys, Wonders, and Perplexities of Life.
I've had individual poems or small groups of poetry published on web-based Literary magazines: Poetry Life and Times, and Darkhorse Press New Poets, and in the print anthologies: Berkeley Poets Cooperative, and the Berkeley City College Art & Literary Journal, Milvia Street.
I’m writing my first full-length nonfiction narrative, Victory Is My Name, A Memoir, about unlearning the untruths we are taught as children that can hold us hostage for life unless we find our own way to the truth. Once we know the truth, it really can make us free. Some of it can be read at my password-protected site: http://w2w.victoriachames.com > click Beta Readers in the header menu.
