I have been writing for many years. Long before I ever thought about publishing my work I wrote because it was the one place I could speak freely. Writing has always been the way I make sense of the world and the way I make sense of myself. Every book I write carries a little piece of me a little piece of my truth and a small echo of something I have lived or felt or survived.
People often say that I write for older women and in some ways I do but the truth is I write for women. All women. Women who have lived a little. Women who have lived a lot. Women who have known joy and pain desire and fear hope and heartbreak. Women who are still figuring themselves out and women who are rediscovering the parts they thought they had lost.
My life has never been conventional. I have not walked the tidy path that others expect. I have lived my life the way my heart told me to even when it made people uncomfortable. My friends know me and understand me and accept me without question. Others have been wary of me because I do not fit neatly into what they think a woman should be and that is fine. I am not here to be understood by everyone. I am here to be myself.
More than anything I am a woman. I love being a woman. I love the softness and the strength the intuition and the fire the longing and the complexity. I have known pain and loss sorrow and heartache fear and moments when I truly believed I would not get through. But I did. And what carried me through more than anything was writing.
Now at this later stage in my life I have chosen to share what I write. I want to create a space where women can breathe and feel recognised. A space where they can see themselves in the stories. A space where they can feel less alone. A space where being a woman in all her forms is something to be proud of.
Author Vivian Hart
I write because writing became my lifeline long before it ever became a choice.
I write because I needed a place to put the truth — the parts of myself I spent years hiding. I write because I know what it feels like to lose your own voice, to feel unseen, to rebuild yourself from pieces.
I write for the women who have lived, survived, rediscovered themselves, and still carry desire, strength, softness, and fire within them. I write to remind them that their stories matter, especially the ones they were taught to hide.
Most of all, I write because I learned one powerful truth:
the last chapter is never the last chapter unless you decide it is.
I am here because my writing is no longer just for me.
I am here because I discovered that countless women — older, wiser, stronger — felt the same way I once did: unseen, unheard, and searching for themselves again.
I am here to share my words openly, to offer a voice to the women who were never given space for their own.
I am here to stand with them, to remind them they are not alone, and to honour the journeys they are still walking.
I built this place so you would have somewhere to breathe.
A place where your feelings are not too much, where your story is not too late, where your desires and your strength both belong.
I built this place so you could find yourself reflected — not judged, not dismissed, but deeply understood.
A place where you can begin again, in your own time, in your own way.
A place where being a woman in all her complexity is something to be proud of.
I never sat down one day and decided, “I’m going to be a writer.”
Writing wasn’t a plan. It wasn’t a career choice.
It was a lifeline.
It began quietly — in moments when life cracked open and I found myself standing among the pieces.
Moments when I was learning who I truly was after years of being everything to everyone.
Moments when I was rediscovering my body, my voice, my desires, my boundaries.
Moments when I was grieving unexpected losses and surviving things I never thought I’d have to explain.
I became a writer because I needed somewhere to put the truth.
For years, I hid parts of myself:
the woman, the survivor, the one who wanted more than the box she’d been handed.
I knew what it felt like to be invisible, overlooked, dismissed.
I knew what it was to be controlled so slowly and cleverly that you doubt your own reality.
I knew what it was like to wake up one day and realize you had disappeared inside your own life.
So I wrote.
At first, I wrote just to breathe.
Then I wrote because the words wouldn’t stop.
And then I wrote because I discovered something powerful —
other women felt exactly the same.
Women in their fifties, sixties, seventies.
Women who had lived full lives, raised families, survived heartbreak, loved deeply, given everything… and still felt unseen.
Women who still had desire. Women who still longed for connection, for understanding — but didn’t know where to put those feelings, or whether they were even allowed.
So I began telling the stories I never got to read:
Stories about women finding themselves again.
Stories about loss and rediscovery.
Stories about desire that doesn’t fade with age.
Stories about courage that isn’t loud.
Stories about survival that isn’t shameful.
Stories about the quiet, fierce courage it takes to begin again.
I write because I want women to feel less alone.
I write because I know what it’s like to search for yourself in the rubble.
I write because strength can be soft, and softness can be strong.
I write because our stories matter — especially the ones we were taught to hide.
Most of all, I write because I finally understand this:
The last chapter is never the last chapter.
Not unless you decide it is.
And I want every woman who reads my words to feel that truth in her bones.
