Vincent's best-known solo work is Same Kind of Different as Me: A Modern-Day Slave, an International Art Dealer, and the Unlikely Woman Who Bound Them Together. The tale of a friendship between a wealthy Texan and a black homeless man has been on the New York Times Best Seller list since October 2008.
She co-wrote Sarah Palin's 2009 memoir, Going Rogue: An American Life.
In 2010, Vincent wrote, with Todd Burpo, Heaven Is for Real: A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back, the story of the four-year-old son of a Nebraska pastor who during emergency surgery visits heaven.
Vincent, a U.S. Navy veteran, spent 11 years as an investigative reporter and feature writer for WORLD magazine, a conservative Christian newsweekly with a paid subscribership of more than 120,000. She has lectured on writing at the World Journalism Institute, and at The King's College in New York City.
Vincent was born in Springfield, Massachusetts and lives in San Diego, California.
During her 11 years as a senior writer and features editor for World magazine, Vincent covered politics, culture, and hot-button social issues. She wrote over 1,000 articles (see WORLD Magazine archives), including a report on how fetal tissue is acquired for medical research, and exposing sexual abuse of women in Protestant churches.
One of the subjects of the clergy abuse article, Donna Scott, is a regular writer at Huffingtonpost.com. In 2009, Scott, while not a political conservative, defended Vincent's journalistic standards in the face of attacks by anti-Palin commentators.
