Biography
Vickie Hardin Woods is a retired director of a 100-employee local government department, an avid hiker, and a dedicated baker of pies. As an adjustment to retirement, Vickie baked and gave away a pie every day for one year, blogging along the way, winning Best of Show at the state fair, and delivering a TEDx speech. She now has turned her attention to writing, starting with SIX WOMEN ALONE, a memoir about hiking and friendship over 35 years. Her next project is a memoir about her year of pie baking. Vickie lives in Salem, Oregon with her husband, Bob, and Rosie, the labradoodle.
