Victoria Clayton

Writing memoir, narrative non-fiction, even a little poetry now and then.

I was born in the UK of a Scottish mother and an Australian father and grew up in Melbourne.

I have been a field archaeologist, excavating in Syria, Turkey, Jordan and Australia, and an English teacher in Melbourne and China, among a ridiculous number of other occupations.  

Travel, museums, libraries and ancient figurines are a few of my favourite things.

I also know a bit about parental demise, dementia, loss and grief. 

Now I live in a van somewhere in Australia with Dougal, the cat, and I write about all of it.

**Admittedly I now live in an apartment in the city but my heart will always be on a road somewhere...
