Victor Pemberton was a scriptwriter who also worked as an actor to supplement his writing income. This led to director Morris Barry casting him in Doctor Who (The Moonbase).

In 1990, Headline Books invited Pemberton to write a novelisation of a drama series he had penned called Our Family. This was published in 1991 and led to a successful career as a novelist. To date he has published fifteen ‘family saga’ novels, including Where the Swallows Come Again.
