Penny Vincenzi was one of the UKs best-loved and most popular authors. Since her first novel, Old Sins, was published in 1989, she wrote fourteen bestselling novels.
Her first 'proper' job was at the Harrods Library, aged sixteen, after which she went to secretarial college. She joined the Mirror and later became a journalist, writing for The Times, the Daily Mail and Cosmopolitan among many others, before turning to fiction. At the time of her death in 2018, over seven million copies of Penny's books had been sold worldwide and she is universally held to be the 'doyenne of the modern blockbuster' (Glamour). She has four daughters, and divided her time between London and Gower, South Wales, until her death in February 2018 aged 78.
