Victoria Twead is a New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Amazon bestselling author known for her humorous and heartwarming memoirs. Her most notable works include the Old Fools series, which began with "Chickens, Mules and Two Old Fools," inspired by her eleven years living in a remote Spanish mountain village. The series expanded to include titles such as "Two Old Fools - Olé!," "Two Old Fools on a Camel," and "Two Old Fools Down Under," chronicling her adventures with her husband, Joe. She also penned two prequels, "One Young Fool in Dorset" and "One Young Fool in South Africa," alongside her newer Sixpenny Cross series, which includes "A is for Abigail" and "B is for Bella."
Twead's writing blends meticulous record-keeping with vivid storytelling, a habit she attributes to her father's influence. Her works capture the charm and chaos of expat life, infused with observations on culture, food, and human—and animal—behavior. After relocating to Australia, she continued writing, embracing new inspirations from her surroundings while maintaining her signature wit and warmth. Her books reflect her deep appreciation for the places she's called home, from the Spanish countryside to the Australian outback.
Now settled in Australia, Twead remains an active writer and publisher, helping other authors bring their works to life. Her career, marked by bestselling success and a loyal readership, continues to evolve as she explores fresh narratives and settings. Whether recounting her own misadventures or crafting fictional tales, her work consistently celebrates life's unexpected joys and challenges.
