VIVIEN BROWN'S BOOK 'NO SISTER OF MINE' - A GOOD READ

 

The tag line of novelist Vivien Brown's recently published title NO SISTER OF MINE, which was on our latest Billericay Book Club list, is 'Your best friend or your worst enemy'. The author of this book, currently lives in, Middlesex, with her husband and two cats. She has grownup twin girls who have produced girls. 

Viv said:   "Irving Berlin wrote Sisters in 1954 for White Christmas  I come from a family of sisters for the last four generations my direct  family line has not seen the birth of a single boy. Her mum was one of two sisters and was I. When my dad embarked on a second marriage, late in life what happened. Yes - another baby girl.” 

Viv has always wanted to write novels and had succeeded for many years with short stories and articles.  As she has said on line “For most of my life I’ve immersed herself in words. I am an avid reader, writer, poet, library outreach worker, storyteller, gifter of Bookstart packs to babies and toddlers, creative writing tutor and crossword fanatic.”

 As she has said, she enjoys dipping into dictionaries and exploring the meaning of words, and watching and/or taking part in TV quiz shows. In the evenings she loves nothing more than losing herself in a good book, a compelling TV drama or her regular supply of women's magazines - which all help to provide inspiration and ideas for her own fiction. After publishing around 150 short stories in popular UK women's magazines, she produced two ebooks,  a guide to solving cryptic crosswords, and 250 articles in the professional childcare/nursery press on working and reading with young children (all written as Vivien Hampshire), she now writes full-length dramatic and relationship-based novels for Harper Impulse. 

Vivien is a member of the Romantic Novelists' Association (RNA) and a Council member and a member of the Society of Woman Writers and Journalists  www.swwj.co.uk
