Ghosts, Resolution and Revenge: A Collection of Short Stories

About V K McGivney

Veronica McGivney spent her childhood in a small seaside resort on the Isle of Wight where her mother ran a guest house for holidaymakers during the summer months. At school her main claims to fame were producing irreverent caricatures of the teaching staff and persistent truanting. Despite this after gaining a BA and a PhD at the University of Exeter she went on to pursue a career in education working at the Open University and the Universities of Sussex and Nairobi before becoming a principal research officer at The National Institute of Adult and Continuing Education. After years of writing academic books and reports Veronica now enjoys the freedom of writing fiction - something she has wanted to do since earliest childhood. She is a multi-genre author who writes novels and short stories some of which have been short-listed in British short story competitions. She lives in a leafy part of Brighton where as well as writing she tries to find time for painting reading gardening and playing tennis.
