Virginia Collins is a British mystery writer raised in Cornwall and trained as a textile historian. She earned a degree in art history from the University of York and spent a decade as a fabric archivist in London museums, where she fell in love with faded ledgers and the stories embedded in cloth. Beginning in the 2010s, she published short crime fiction in regional journals and curated lectures on material culture. Since 2019, she has lived in Bristol with her partner and a retired greyhound, balancing freelance conservation work with writing atmospheric mysteries set in small towns.
