 
Vix has been writing since childhood, from silly rhymes, inspired by the likes of Dr Seuss, Roald Dahl and Spike Milligan, to poems and short stories.
In October 2008 she wrote her first children’s book: Do Spiders Have Ears? (first of the Small Creatures series), and since, has added to this with The Moon (first of the My Uncle and I series) and The Boat Journey.
2011 has seen the publication of Yuri Gagarin – The First Spaceman which was sponsored by The British Council in time for the 50th Anniversary of his spaceflight in April. To date it has sold nearly 2000 copies.
Yuri Gagarin – The First Spaceman is the first book in a series about Space Exploration. Please keep checking back for progress updates or follow her personal Twitter feed: @Victrix75

Russia Visit
Vix was invited by The British Embassy to visit Moscow. During her trip she was a Guest of Honour at Russian school #1239. Vix gave a short talk and gifted 160 books. The school specialises in teaching English from an early age.
Vix says “It was superb to see the joy on the youngest children’s faces when they received a copy of my book. Although they are just beginning to learn English, I was told that my English book about their national hero will be a perfect teaching aid.”
Also during her visit, Vix met with Nataliya Koroleva (daughter of The Chief Designer, Sergei Korolev - The man who put Gagarin in space) for research purposes.
