Victoria grew up in the big city, of New York, it was home to her for 27 years and she loved it. Her childhood was very good, her parents were always known as an optimist around the area they lived and with that it helped her be optimistic through everything, even through the bullying of high school. She was always upbeat and out going through her whole life, and people either loved that about her. At high school, people found her obsession with reading in the library a bit weird that they turned to bullying her, they found their only way to deal with something they didn’t understand was by bullying her to make her feel a bit like a loser. This never changed how she felt and how Victoria grew stronger from this and really did learn from this. She was always known to have a book in her hand, she loved reading, and she got it from her dad who had published at least three or four books and she fell in love with reading and knew she wanted to write for something when she was older.
Victoria was never someone who viewed the world like everyone else did, she viewed it with hope and fiction, she chose to believe the world is what you view it to be and if you view it to be this amazing place then it will be, she was very open to new adventures and open to seeing what places had to offer. She knew when she grew up travel was something she wanted to do to explore new places. Being adventurous and imaginative helped her get into her creative side of writing and coming up with small fictional stories that she is very proud of, but she keeps to herself at all times. With all this, she ended up going to NYU after school to study creative writing as she wanted to continue working towards actually being a published author in the future.
As she graduated college at the age of 22, she honestly had no clue what she was doing, how to get her name out there, so she went to work in Barnes and Nobles in New York until she could get her name out there, and working there gave her the chance to see some of her favourite authors come for signings and talk about their books and get advice from them. By the age of 24 she felt confident, she started writing her first book slowly but surely which was kind of based on her college experience. As this went on, something tragic happened that threw her off for a long while, her parents were out for dinner on their own one night and they didn’t make it home, unfortunately they got into a car accident and they didn’t make it and this threw Victoria off because she was very close with her parents and losing them was the worst thing that could happen to her and for a long time she couldn’t cope with anything or even focus on writing.
It took her a long time to realise she didn’t want to live in New York any longer, she needed to leave, she needed to runaway from all the memories she has from living there with her parents and every time she would go to do something, she would get emotional, so she decided that she needed a fresh start and to move. She had always wanted to live in London for some time of her life so she did now she felt the time was right. When she moved to London she managed to find her way into a bookstore and being an online journalist which is something she enjoyed alongside trying to write her book. In her first few months she met a guy and fell quickly for him and started dating him. They were together for a while and she then found out that she was pregnant. This is when it came clear that the guy she was dating wasn’t interested in a future with her and he left her to go through the pregnancy alone and being a mom on her own. It was tough but she accepted it and decided that she was going to be a mum and she was going to raise the baby. Nine months later she gave birth to a healthy baby girl who she called Kiera May Greene. The little girl is now 3 years old and her life in London is great, she feels alone and a struggle but she wouldn’t change it for the world.
