Hello from Vivien Hampshire

Hi,

After having 100 short stories published in UK women’s magazines, I have now given up my ‘day job’ working with the under-fives to concentrate on a full-time writing career, although I still write extensively for childcare and nursery magazines on early reading and education topics. I am a life-long crossword addict, and my new book ‘How to Crack Cryptic Crosswords’ helps others learn how to solve them. My first e-book novel, ‘Losing Lucy’, was self-published in 2012 and, as a member of the Romantic Novelists Association’s New Writers Scheme, I am now working hard towards clinching a publishing deal for novel number two!
