Vanessa grew up in Cape Town and still lives there with her husband of nineteen years, her two daughters and her furry, four-legged ‘children’.
Her passion for the written word started her career as an editor and copywriter, and she ran a writers’ critique group for close on seven years. She's been writing ever since she learnt how, has always been an avid reader, and currently lives on coffee and hugs.
Her interests include reading, ancient history, conspiracy theories, photography and graphic design, the supernatural, life's mysteries and martial arts, of which she has five years’ experience.
Review copies of all Vanessa's books are available upon request, and fans are welcome to email her at shadowfire13@gmail.com - she loves to hear any type of feedback and answers all emails personally.
