Veronica Henry

Veronica Henry was our Guest Editor in August 2010 - click here - to see the books that inspired her writing.

Veronica Henry began her career as a script typist for Radio 4s 'The Archers'. 

After two years in Ambridge she became a script editor for Central Television, then jumped over the fence and wrote scripts for ten years for many of our best loved dramas, including Boon, Heartbeat and Holby City. 

Her secret wish to become a novelist was fulfilled in 2000 and she has since written eight novels.  She lives on the North Devon coast which was the inspiration for The Beach Hut.
