Vinnie Hansen's journey into writing began serendipitously when she took a night class in creative writing in Southern California, spurred by her brother's suggestion.
Hansen expresses that her upbringing in poverty deeply influenced her writing, stating, 'I had plenty of trauma from my upbringing... I wrote about those experiences, and it was healing.'
The transition into crime fiction was driven by Hansen's realization of the structured nature of mysteries, allowing her to overcome plot difficulties she faced in writing.
After years of teaching and writing, Hansen secured recognition in the literary community, including awards like the Golden Donut Award for her gripping short stories.
