Hello and thank you for visiting my author page. After many years of writing television crime drama and the D.I Fisher series of contemporary crime novels as Isabelle Grey I wanted to take a different approach to my fiction - so please give a warm welcome to my pseudonym, V. B. Grey. They say, Write the book you want to read. Well, I've always loved old noir movies and black & white melodramas - as well as their glamorous stars - so 'Tell Me How It Ends' is inspired by my favourite films their strong female characters, played by such legendary actors as Barbara Stanwyck, Bette Davis or Joan Crawford. Growing up in the 1960s I was also aware of the long shadow still cast by the Second World War, a subject I explore in both 'Tell Me How It Ends' and my new novel, 'Sisterhood', which was inspired by a tragic mystery in my own family. I grew up in Manchester, England, and have an English degree from Cambridge. My first job was with a London antique dealer and I spent many years as a freelance journalist and non-fiction author (as Isabelle Anscombe) writing initially about the fascinating world of the art market and the history of decorative arts before going on to contribute features and reviews to national newspapers and magazines, including Cosmopolitan, Country Living and Psychologies. I have also written for film, television and radio drama. I live and work in north London. You can follow me on Twitter @IsabelleGrey
