Victoria Gemmell

Victoria Gemmell lives in Renfrewshire, Scotland, and loves writing edgy mystery thrillers. Often her books are inspired by headlines in the news, but always turn into fictional stories when her imagination runs wild. Promise Me explores the way in which sensationalist news coverage, both in traditional and social media, can twist perceptions of individuals’ guilt, (in this case a teenage boy), before their case even reaches the courtroom.

Victoria’s debut Young Adult mystery Follow Me was published by Strident Publishing Ltd. Whilst studying an undergraduate degree in Communication and Mass Media, Victoria developed a fascination with pop culture and Andy Warhol, which has influenced a lot of the ideas in Follow Me.

Victoria works with teenagers on a daily basis as a careers adviser.

Victoria has had shorter works published in journals such as the WordswithJAM anthology An Earthless Melting Pot, The Grind Journal, The Dillydoun Review, FlashFlood, Word Bohemia and The Bohemyth Literary Journal,
