Penny Vincenzi is one of the UK’s best-loved and most popular authors. Since her first novel, OLD SINS, was published in 1989, she has written thirteen novels, and recently SHEER ABANDON was a Sunday Times Number One bestseller in both hardback and paperback.

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 amongst many others, before turning to fiction. Several years later, over four million copies of Penny’s books have been sold worldwide and she is universally held to be the ‘doyenne of the modern blockbuster’ (Glamour).

Penny Vincenzi is married with four daughters, and divides her time between London and Gower, South Wales.
