Born and raised in Liverpool (UK), VL McBeath trained as a scientist and worked in the pharmaceutical industry for many years. It was only when she was researching her family history that the idea for The Ambition & Destiny Series was born. In those early days, she had no idea what she would find or where it would lead. A couple of years later, however, she felt compelled to turn the unfolding story into a novel. She now lives in Cheshire with her husband, youngest daughter, and cat. In addition to family history, her interests include rock music and Premier League Football.
