Virginia is a lifelong writer whose true magical stories have inspired readers to consistently crown her the Queen of Synchronicity.

From 2015 to 2019, she wrote the Fleeting Connections blog, completed her first book (a literary memoir titled Synchronicities), and launched the online publication The Magic Guide.

For six years, she published a new chapter of The Magic Guide with every new and full moon. During this time, the Guide was endorsed by a clinical psychologist, beloved by loyal readers, and praised for invoking more awe, wonder, and synchronicity in people’s lives.

In November 2024, after a series of powerful dreams, Virginia ended The Magic Guide in order to focus on her next book project — a contemporary fantasy series.

Before all this, she studied film and physical anthropology at Vassar College, conducted research with one of the world’s foremost primatologists, and worked at Northwestern University’s Center for International Human Rights.

Born in the South, she now lives with her husband and cat in a rolling green part of Ohio, where she wakes to a misty pond, sprinkles cinnamon on her coffee, and witnesses real magic every day.
