Multi-award winning historical fiction author, Vicky Adin is a genealogist in love with history and words.

After decades of research Vicky has combined her skills to weave family and history stories together in a way that brings the past to life, in a similar vein to the stories by Catherine Cookson.

Fascinated by the 19th Century women who undertook hazardous journeys to find a better life, Vicky draws her characters from real life stories: characters such as Brigid, the Irish lacemaker and Gwenna, the Welsh confectioner, or Megan who discovers much about herself when she traces her family tree in The Cornish Knot. Her latest release, The Costumier's Gift is the dual timeline sequel to the family sagas of Brigid The Girl from County Clare and Gwenna The Welsh Confectioner.

Vicky Adin holds a MA(Hons) in English and Education. She is an avid reader of historical novels, family sagas and contemporary women's stories and enjoys travelling.
