About Vee Walker
Vee Walker had a career in heritage interpretation before becoming a successful novelist, short-story writer and literary editor.
Her writing career includes fiction and non-fiction and her prizewinning debut novel, Major Tom’s War, is based on her grandfather Tom’s detailed WWI ‘war diary’.
​
Vee's short story Nice Dog was a finalist in the BBC Short Story of the Year 2024 and can still be enjoyed on BBC Sounds.
Her most recent work, The Glen Nevis Rose, is the result of a commissioned collaboration with author Ewen Cameron.
Author Evening with Vee Walker
Tuesday 18th November at 7.00pm
​
‘The Lady and the Rose’
​
Venue: Workshop Room, WASPS (Inverness Creative Academy) Midmills Building, Stephens Street, Inverness, IV2 3JP
​
Vee Walker will be talking about a rather different writing project, a co-authored commission she has written alongside Ewen Cameron, who lives at Glen Nevis House near Fort William.
​
After a year's research, what began as an idea for a simple pamphlet evolved into a beautiful professionally-designed full colour illustrated book which combines history and non-fiction to tell the true story of Lady Mary Cameron and her transatlantic rose.
Copies will be available on the night at £8 for HighlandLIT members.
A great stocking-filler!
