Dr Gervase Vernon is a retired family doctor from England.

He is the grandson of Bronia (Bronisława Wieniawa Długoszowska). Born in Paris, he studied medicine in Cambridge and London. He has worked as a hospital doctor in Malawi (Central Africa), and as a general practitioner (family doctor) in the UK. He is now retired. He has written many academic papers, some of which are collected in "General Practice as if people mattered." "Belonging and Betrayal" was his first novel. "The Parables Retold" is a collection of short stories whose morals are the punchlines of Jesus' parables. His short stories appear in the two Churchill College writers' anthologies, both of which he edited.

He has also published another collection of short stories, 'Of Life, Death and Machines', as well as commentaries/study guides on the Lord's Prayer and the Beatitudes. Finally, he has published an edition of his parents' wartime letters, 'Love Letters in a Time of War'.
