Bio
Veronica Henry was asked to leave the Royal School for Daughters of Officers of the Army. She was then asked to leave the University of Bristol, where she was studying Classics, because she was spending too much time running a post-punk nightclub to do her conjugations. Happily, she wasn't asked to leave the BBC when she secured a job on The Archers.
From there she went to Central Television to script-edit such broadcasting legends as Crossroads and Boon. She then left and became a scriptwriter, writing hundreds of hours of broadcast television for Heartbeat, Doctors, Family Affairs and Holby amongst others. In 2000, she turned her hand to novels, using her story-lining skills to write compelling, multi-protagonist fiction.
About
Here is part of a review of 'Marriage And Other Games'
'THERE is nothing simple about the plots or the people in Veronica Henry’s latest novel. With bags of style, they are young members of the middle class have-it-all clan.
This is a soap opera of a book, which is not surprising when you discover that the author was a scriptwriter for television dramas including Heartbeat and Holby City.' read more...
