Victoria Thompson

I started 12 years ago reading Mrs. Thompson's books out loud to my declining bedridden Husband. After his death, I started back re-reading them in order (Gaslight Series) and with each one, am so admiring of this Lady's writing talent, and humor, and thorough research of NY at the turn of the Century. I have this whole Series, thought I'd look up more on her online a couple of nights ago, and was stunned to find out she had passed in 2024. I came close to crying; to lose this talent, and from what I've read about her personally, such a lovely person. And her battle with cancer broke my heart. I plan to obtain the rest of her writings, and hope the Family get royalties on them! Though belated, my earnest sympathies go out to Mrs. Thompson's Family -- but what a wonderful heritage you all will have as a result of this Person's life -- God Bless Her and You All as well -- Mrs. Alma Cosgrove of Greenville, SC; retired U.S. Government Librarian

I'd like to express my sadness and send condolences to the family. My daughter and I have enjoyed countless hours with the Gaslight books. I have no more words... rose f

We met Jim and Vicki in Altoona when doing work with Habitat for Humanity. They were gracious hosts allowing us to stay in their home. Our kids loved Jim's waffles. Our sympathy is extended to all of Vicki's family. Mike and Wendy Campbell

She brought me so much joy through her books. She swept me away. She even made a few personal comments to me on facebook. She was so very special and kind. I will miss her deeply. My prayer go to her family

I read all her books and loved all of them. She was one of my favorite authors. You could tell that she did a lot of research. I felt like I always learned something from her books. I definitely miss her.

I read all of her Gaslight Mysteries and enjoyed them very much. I was looking forward to the next one. My sympathies to her family

Reading her counterfeit books, brought such joy and hope. I lived h9w she used real events in her books and how Elizabeth was smart.

I met Vicki many years ago! Wonderful lady and friend. I am deeply sorry to hear about her passing. RIP, dear Vicki. You will be missed.

Vicki was my mentor in the Writing Popular Fiction program at Seton Hill. She was always so kind, supportive, and helpful, even after I graduated in 2016. She was an amazing writer and a wonderful friend. She will be dearly missed.

I'm so sorry to hear this sad news. I never met Vicki, but am an ardent fan of her Gaslight series. I will forever miss Frank and Sarah!!
RIP lovely lady.

Vicki Thompson was one of the founding members of NJRW (New Jersey Romance Writers). I used to meet her at Romance Writers of America conferences and we'd have nice long and laughing talks. I'm so sorry to hear of her passing.
