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.

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
