V.M. Knox talks to Rob Weinberg about her novels, in which historical fact meets crime fiction and the murky world of espionage.
Author: VM KNOX
Growing up in Sydney in the 50’s and 60’s, V M Knox attended both Ravenswood and Abbotsleigh schools. Following her secondary education she trained as a primary teacher then as a nurse, specializing in burns care. While working in the health industry, she studied singing at the New South Wales Conservatorium of Music and worked in a semi-professional capacity as an opera singer for over twenty years.
While music and nursing dominated her early adult life, she later worked in an administrative capacity for the Dean of St Andrew’s Cathedral, Sydney, and in the real estate industry. Coming to writing later in life has meant that her varied life experiences, coupled with a love of history have had a strong influence on her writing. She is married with two children and numerous grandchildren.
Shetland Bus Memorial
During WWII, the Norwegian resistance movement operated the ‘Shetland Bus’ from here. The trips were very successful, carrying agents, wireless operators and military supplies to Norway for the resistance movement. This memorial is built with stones from Scottland and the Norwegian stones are from the home areas of 44 Norwegians who died running the gauntlet between Norway and Scalloway.

Geoff Sanders Review
G D Sanders author of ‘The Victim’, ‘The Taken Girls’ and ‘The Adventures of Adam Wynn; Influence of Death’.
Dear Vicky,
I finished Where Death and Danger Go yesterday, reading the final 40% in a single sitting, which is unusual for me. When the action starts you really have produced a page-turner. As you know, I love your central character, Clement Wisdom. He is such a gentle, thoughtful sensitive man, yet able to injure and kill for what he believes to be right. I truly admire you plotting, basing your fictional story on historical events and a mind-blowing degree of research. When reading the book, I felt you had yourself trodden every step of Clement’s journey.
I’ve enjoyed all three of your Clement Wisdom novels but for me this was the best so far. I say “so far” because I wonder if Clement will feel compelled to return to the UK because King and country require his services again and he is in a position from which he cannot resign.
I hope you’ve already started on another novel and look forward to hearing about it.
Best wishes,
Geoff
St Peters Horningsea
St Peters Horningsea is located in a small village north of Cambridge in Cambridgeshire in England. The parish covers an area of 1,700 acres. It lies on the east bank of the River Cam. This is one of the many wonderful places I visited whilst researching my latest novel ‘Where Death and Danger Go”.
Waterbeach
The Bridge is located on the banks of the River Cam in the beautiful village of Waterbeach. Waterbeach is a village on the edge of The Fens, 9 kilometers north of Cambridge in the South Cambridgeshire district of Cambridgeshire, England. This picturesque town sets the scene for my latest novel “Where Death and Danger Go”.
2021
I am currently working on a new series for 2021 but another Clement wisdom story is also hatching in my head. Clement will live to fight another day and I’m hoping to have book four in the series out within the year or in the early months of 2022 as well as book one in my new series.
Take care everyone in these turbulent times and may 2021 be an outstanding year for you.
Thank you
I would like to thank everyone for their kind support this year and for buying my books, especially the latest, “Where Death and Danger Go”. Wishing you all a safe and very happy Christmas and a joyous New Year.
