Vivian French was best known at school for being extremely weedy, and for talking a lot. She continued her attachment to words by becoming first an actor, then a story-teller and finally a writer of children's books...she's not sure how many she's written (she's not good at maths), but it's somewhere around two hundred. Many of them are for sevens and under, but she does write for older children too - and also non-fiction, which she says is very exciting because you find out so many things you never knew about.

At the moment Vivian is writing books about Princesses, Draglins, Egyptians and Chocolate - oh, and a frog-obsessed sorceress. (If she's not working on at least five books at the same time she worries she'll never be asked to write again.) She does rather too much travelling in order to swap ideas about books she's meant to be writing. (If any publishers are reading this, she's very sorry!). She lives in Edinburgh, and has four grown up daughters...and she's a lot less weedy. She still talks a lot, though. Vivian is the author of the hugely popular series, The Tiara Club. Follow Princess Charlotte and her friends from Rose Room as they earn Tiara points and learn how to become 'Proper Princesses.' Look out for the new princesses in third series of The Tiara Club, publishing in 2007, as well as the World Book Day 2007 title for Orchard Books, Princess Megan and the Magical Tiara.
