About Victoria

Victoria writes thought-provoking, life-affirming fiction that keeps you turning the pages.

She started her career as a broadcast journalist at the BBC, before moving into the freelance world, working for outlets like the Telegraph and Al Jazeera. When she’s not writing novels, she lectures in Journalism at Kingston University and is an enthusiastic (but amateur) singer and gardener.

Victoria lives on a Thames island with her husband and two children and a cat called Alice.
