Born in England to a Lawrence Welk-loving mum and a Monty Python-loving dad — tea drinkers all — Victoria Grant moved to Canada with her family when she was seven. Her f lair with words and a creative imagination prompted English teachers to urge her to write for a living, especially after she received a letter from the Prime Minister who thanked her for writing to him, which she describes as "pretty awesome for a twelve-year-old!"
Through the years, she wrote many stories while earning a living as an administrative assistant at several businesses including a bank, a car company, an ice cream manufacturer, and a pharmaceutical firm. She was more than a little peeved when she discovered none of them gave out free samples. Victoria went on to start up a wedding coordination business, which she ran successfully for six years; all the while being happily married to the love of her life.
These interesting jobs plus wedded bliss gave her oodles of ideas for romantic plot lines, tall, dark and handsome heroes and feisty, beautiful heroines, and, of course, the happily-ever-afters.
And now, amidst endless cups of strong tea while Cole Porter tunes and the dead parrot sketch whirl around in her brain, Victoria writes romances with a dollop of humour. She has an irresistible need to create captivating characters whose lives she can make completely miserable before giving them their happy ending.
Victoria Grant is a member of the Romance Writers of America, and the Toronto Romance Writers.
