TALES OF LIFE AND LOVE

Viviane Brentanos was born in Reading UK in 1958. Her father is English and her mother French although there is a strong vein of Spanish on her maternal grandmother’s side. Educated at various schools before completing Sixth Form College at St Peter's Huntingdon, Viviane went to collect A levels in English, French and History, subsequently winning a place at Sheffield University where she read Classical Civilization. Once there, however, she found she had had enough of the academic life; the student mentality, to her, seemed false and having been brought up in student circles, rather boring. Much to her mother's horror, She gave up my studies and went to London to begin a course as a Canine Beautician. In 1984, she parted ways with her first husband {although they remain friends to this day} and visited the Ionian island of Corfu to celebrate her new freedom. It proved to be a life-changing decision. To quote Viviane, “I still remember to this day, sitting in a café-bar, overlooking the crystal clear azure sea and saying to my friend. I never want to leave here. Never leave she did, remarrying and going on to be the proud mother of two children and a steady stream of rescue dogs.

  In 2004, Viviane decided to finally realise a lifelong dream: writing a novel. Entertaining friends and family since her teens with her romantic tales, something told her it was time to get serious. Writing has now become her passion. As she says...   “I have always been called a "Romantic", often accused of not living in the real world but who wants to do that?” 
  Viviane’s writing is inspired the Jill Cooper and, to date, she has six novels published. She says “I like to call my work Romance with a quirky, humorous Brit twist and I am always striving to make my characters real, characters we can all relate to.” 
  At the moment, Viviane is currently residing in Glasgow, UK, the city of her childhood. While it is so different than her beloved Corfu, she says she is equally enamoured with this fair city.   “Hopefully, I will find a way to divide my time between the two.” As the song goes....Torn between two lovers......
