ⓘ About Vanessa Gordon

Vanessa Gordon is an English writer and the author of The Naxos Mysteries. She has also published a book on the cuisine of the Cycladic islands, A Greek Feast on Naxos. The Naxos Mysteries were inspired by her love of Greece, its ancient history, archaeology and cuisine. She has travelled extensively round the archaeological sites of Greece, meeting people concerned with the discovery and protection of the country’s cultural heritage. Naxos made an enormous impact on her. On one of her many visits she came across the stone hut in the hills which inspired the first book, The Meaning of Friday. With the creation of her protagonist, the archaeologist and film presenter Martin Day, the next books followed quickly.
