Vic has been writing since 1995 when his first play, And Our Dear Channel Islands.., about the Occupation and Liberation of Jersey premiered.
Vic’s first novel, Black Art, featured Arty Shaw, the world’s first female-to-male transgender detective. It was named one of Kirkus Reviews’ top 100 books of 2012.

Since 2014, Vic has dedicated his spare time to the Jersey charity, Liberate, of which he is honorary CEO. He has delivered hundreds of training sessions and public speaking engagements on its behalf, educating and engaging with people on the subject of equality, diversity and inclusion.
Vic has an MBA from the University of Durham and is a member of the Institute of Fundraising.

“People like to be shown around archives. I don’t know why. I’m in the business, but one row of shelves stuffed with manila files looks much like another.”
“I couldn’t imagine leaving a child. Not because it was unthinkable, but because I couldn’t imagine having a child to leave.”
“I was going to dine at the television company’s expense with one of the most beautiful women in show business and some television producer with an inferiority complex. In my experience, there’s always a price.”
“You don’t rewrite it, censor it, or edit it, to suit some warped view you have of the past and your own present.”
