The Author
Vee Walker is a novelist and short story author based on the Black Isle in the Scottish Highlands. To contact Vee click here.
The discovery of a long-forgotten family mystery led her to spend almost a decade researching and writing Major Tom’s War, which was a prizewinner at the inaugural SAHR Military History Fiction Awards 2019.
A fictionalised family memoir/saga, it is an account of her maternal grandparents’ unlikely courtship during the Great War, 1914 – 1918 and a parallel story of the mayor of an occupied French town on the border with Belgium.
Much of the book is set in northern France and a French translation of Major Tom’s War is underway.
