Veronica Winslow

Veronica Winslow is a novelist, historian, and former political journalist who writes fiction with a scalpel in one hand and a crumpet in the other. Her work lives at the intersection of satire and scholarship, blending sharp historical insight with wickedly subversive humor to interrogate the absurdities of power, politics, and human folly.

Armed with a Master’s degree in History and an incurable curiosity about how empires unravel (usually while insisting everything is perfectly under control), Veronica has spent decades digging through archives, campaign speeches, and tea-stained diaries. She began her career in political journalism, covering real-world farces before deciding fiction was the only place left where truth could be safely told.

Her novels are known for their richly textured worlds, intellectual mischief, and irreverent love for history’s footnotes. Whether she’s imagining a court of aristocrats undone by etiquette or a monarchy infiltrated by socialist corgis, Veronica treats the past not as a museum but as a stage—where the costumes may change, but the vanities remain delightfully familiar.

Veronica grew up in a politically active family where dinner conversations included debates on tax policy, literary criticism, and the correct moral alignment of Robin Hood. She now lives in a book-stuffed townhouse with more pens than practical sense, and a cat that responds only to Latin commands. When not writing, she can be found hunting for obscure pamphlets, arguing with 19th-century economists (mostly in her head), or attending tea with the air of someone planning a gentle coup.

Her latest novel, God Save the Queen’s Accountant, is a riotous reimagining of Victorian Britain—where Karl Marx takes up the Queen’s ledger and court politics descend into velvet-cloaked revolution.

Veronica believes that history is not a fixed tale, but a living debate—and that nothing punctures pomposity quite like a well-aimed joke.
