About the Book

Change your life the easy way. Let this book do it for you. This is a rollercoaster of a book, and should be sipped slowly, like a glass of fine wine.

 

Penny is a University English graduate. As the intrepid protagonist, working for ‘The Museum of Beautiful Things’, and as an undercover journalist, she goes right to the heart of her soul, (not to mention the nation’s tax bill), to find the core of herself and her beliefs. Her journey takes her to Darfur, Baghdad, Hollywood, into reality TV and to a firm called ‘Concepts of Time’.

 

She also falls in love, three times! With Andrew, the Director of The Museum of Beautiful Things, Ernie, a radio wavelength engineer and Eyes, a private detective she hires to spy on Ernie.

 

It is a passionate book, passionate in the causes it champions and a passionate love story.


About the Author

The author is a young 31, she likes to think, and has lived in the Midlands all her life. She comes from a traditional family, (her parents are still together), with Welsh and Irish connections in the family’s past history. She has an older sister and a younger brother.

 

She studied English at Cardiff University, on the advice of her mentor at Sixth Form, Mr Steven Purcell, who told her to note down conversations she heard, and put them into a novel.

 

She was awarded a scholarship by The British Academy to study at Cardiff’s School for Critical and Cultural Theory for an MA, studying post-modern theory. She went on to train as a teacher.

 

The author lives alone with her cat in a small village near to Stratford Upon Avon, where she is working on a second novel.
