In her debut novel, The Virtuoso, Virginia combines her passion for the arts and classical music with an intricate examination of relationships and the depth of the human spirit.
She explores the crushing heartbreak that a person is faced with when their purpose and passion in life is unexpectedly taken away from them, and the myriad of emotions and processes a person goes through to overcome such odds. Also running through the novel are themes of friendship, betrayal, courage, hope, love and the healing power of music.
Her purpose as an author is to enrich the lives of readers by producing original and thought provoking fiction that engenders emotion, entertainment, imagination and inspiration.
Virginia is a writer and blogger with wide ranging interests. She is passionate about the violin and classical music, art and culture, literature, personal development, meditation, dance, sports, travelling, family adventures with her four children and watching great films.
She has been referred to as a "drama queen" due to her fondness for period dramas and the occasional melodramatic outburst.
An accomplished violinist with a background that includes playing in two amateur orchestras, her early career involved an executive position for Qantas Airways and extensive travel experience, before taking a leading role in a company specialising in Formula 1 and sports travel.
