Victoria CornwallVictoria Cornwall grew up on a farm in Cornwall. She can trace her Cornish roots as far back as the 18th century and it is this background and heritage which is the inspiration for her Cornish based novels. Following a fulfilling twenty-five year career as a nurse, a change in profession finally allowed her the time to write. Since then, Victoria's writing has been shortlisted for the New Talent Award at the Festival of Romantic Fiction and twice nominated for the Best Indie or Small Published book Award. In 2017, her novel, The Thief's Daughter, was a finalist for the Romantic Novelists' Association's Joan Hessayon Award. Victoria is married and has two grown up children. She likes to read and write historical fiction with a strong background story, but at its heart is the unmistakable emotion, even pain, of loving someone. She is a member of the Romantic Novelists' Association and the Historical Novel Society. Read More Read Less
