Victoria Cornwall
Victoria Cornwall grew up on a farm in Cornwall and can trace her Cornish roots as far back as the 18th century. 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. She initially self-published two novels, Old Sins Long Shadows and The Gossamer Trail under the name B.D.Hawkey. In 2016, award winning publisher, Choc Lit, acquired both novels as part of a four book deal. Old Sins Long Shadows is now published under a new title, The Captain's Daughter, and The Gossamer Trail has been released under the new title The Daughter of River Valley.

I was born in the quaint town of Bingley, England. History enthusiasts might recognise it as ‘The Throstles Nest of Old England,’ a name mentioned in the formidable Domesday Book.

Bingley is also just a short distance from Haworth, the beloved home of the Brontë sisters. My preferred among them is Charlotte, the brilliant author of Jane Eyre – one of my all-time favourite books. I have a passion for reading and watching anything that features dark, brooding, gothic Victorian mansions. Many evenings, I find myself escaping into the gothic world through books, movies, or TV series.
As a child, I dreamed of evoking emotions in others, and what better way to do that than by becoming a singer or actress? However, my innate shyness posed a challe -
