The Beginning, 2012-2016

Victoria Cornwall grew up on a farm in Cornwall. Following a fulfilling twenty-five year career as a nurse, a change in profession finally allowed her the time to write.

She initially self-published two novels, Old Sins, Long Shadows and The Gossamer Trail. The Gossamer Trail was shortlisted for the New Talent Award at the Festival of Romantic Fiction and both Old Sins, Long Shadows and The Gossamer Trail were nominated for the RONE Best Indie or Small Published Book Award by InD'tale magazine.

In October 2022, her first translation, Daniel's Daughter, was released in the Czech Republic under the new title For Honour and Love. Two years later The Captain's Daughter was also acquired and released in the Czech Republic under the new title Bonds of Fate.

In 2023, the first book in her WW2 trilogy, Love in War series, was released. During this time Joffe Books acquired Victoria's publisher, Choc Lit, including all of her released titles to date and the next two books in the trilogy. The Love in War series include - The Paris Affair, The Cornish Affair (original title Waiting For Our Rainbow) and The Wartime Affair (due to be released in 2026).

By 2026, Victoria will have had nine books published. She will never take this achievement for granted.

'In my 40's I decided to attempt to write the type of book that I would enjoy reading. Initially, I thought it would be just one book but more stories kept popping into my head. I feel blessed that they were considered good enough to publish and that readers continue to enjoy them. It's amazing and I feel very lucky.'   Victoria
