Viv's Family Recipes

V.M. Sang was born and lived her early life in Cheshire in the north west of England. Her father died while she was very young and her mother remarried. Her stepfather was a farmer on the Cheshire/North Wales border. V.M. Sang's step brothers and sisters all went to boarding school, but she was lucky enough to escape that, going to live with her mother's elder sister and her husband in order to get a good education. She passed her 11+ examination and went to Grammar School, thus getting a more academic education.

She did little writing until starting to teach in Croydon, Greater London. Here she started a Dungeons and Dragons club in the school where she was teaching using bought scenarios at first. She then thought she could write her own. The idea of turning it into a novel formed in her head, but she did little about it until she took early retirement. Then she began to write The Wolves of Vimar Series. Not having written a novel since her teens (a rather bad romantic novel) for the consumption of her friends, she was surprised at how this work seemed to take on a life of its own, and what was supposed to be a single novel turned into a series.
