Veryan's childhood, spent travelling the world in the wake of her military father, led to a somewhat eclectic and multinational education. She worked as a model, before turning to a more exciting job, which involved flying light aircraft. She then married, had four children and got divorced. She took up sport parachuting and trained and worked as a sensitive at the college of Psychic Studies in London. She also worked as a counsellor specialising in transpersonal psychology perspectives and for many years led psychic development groups.
She now writes and works as an audio describer for the blind and partially sighted at the Theatre Royal Plymouth.
She lives on the edge of Dartmoor surrounded by sheep, highland cattle and Bluebell woods.
