about me

Vickie Clasby is a Certified Public Accountant and financial software designer. During the early years of her career, she traveled extensively, and read every book sold in airport gift shops. She soon became tired of the standard portrayal of women in fiction, realizing that all talented, capable women were not also ravishingly beautiful and perfectly proportioned.

She became a divorced mother when her twins were barely a year old, and started writing during that painful time. What began as therapy became a passion, and resulted in Barely a Trace, her first work of fiction. She’s happily at work on a second novel, which follows the characters from Barely a Trace through new trials and triumphs.

Vickie lives in Franklin, Tennessee with her husband, three children and a menagerie of ill-mannered pets.

Barely a Trace

Vickie Clasby

Be careful what you wish for...
When Mary Beth wished her ne’er-do-well husband would just disappear, she never expected him to vanish.


Now Gerry's missing, leaving a blood-spattered car and a trail of angry clients. And the police have confiscated her computer, bulging at the seams with catty e-mails and a personal journal containing her most private, damning thoughts. Can the seasoned detective uncover the real truth behind Gerry’s disappearance before his ambitious Captain arrests Mary Beth for murder?


How Mary Beth copes with the police, three young children, the Mother-in-Law from Hell, an incontinent dog and the rigors of her job, while coming to terms with Gerry’s betrayal and her own conscience, will test her faith and set the course for her family’s future.

Two chapters in and I have such a soft spot for Emily. This really struck a chord with me, as I've often sat in church wondering why I'm there, what's true and what's not, and what it means to me. The rituals are comforting but the message often misses the mark. I've gotten more from attending Al-... view book

This is something I would definitely buy. Had me laughing out loud. My thirteen year old son was chuckling at the scene in the church parking lot. Very, very clever stuff. The adoption argument was hilarious. Finished chapter one and can only find minor grammatical and punctuation issues. I fo... view book

That's it - I'm off sugar! And I'm pretty sure I have the dehydration headache right now. I think your book strikes the right tone - authoritative, practical, and alarming. It's a real testament to the survival instinct of the human body that we can exist, though sub-optimally, on the junk we f... view book

The pitch is very promising, and Chapter One does not disappoint. It's a great start - pulls the reader in with mystery, jealousy, and the portent of disaster. Will be back to read more. Best of luck with this. Vickie (Barely a Trace) view book

Wow - I was hesitant at first, not my usual genre, but the characters held me hostage through chapt 10, when I had to stop to cook dinner. Great pace, lots of action, a very interesting alternate universe which is not as 'fantasy-ish' as most I've read, so I was able to stay plugged in the whole wa... view book
