Penny Lane-Parker

Penny Lane-Parker writes cozy romance mysteries filled with heart and secrets. Her novels are set on a small island off the U.S. East Coast, where everyone thinks they know everyone—until an old puzzle, a new case, or an unexpected guest turns everything upside down.

Born in the United States, Penny later fulfilled her dream of living by the sea and now makes her home on a small island in the far north of Ireland.

She knows from experience what life in coastal towns and in a close-knit island community is like: the worries, hopes and dreams of the people—and the everyday gossip. All of this finds its way into her books and makes her characters feel so real they could be your neighbors.

By becoming a writer, Penny has fulfilled her lifelong dream: today she is a full-time author, writing exactly the stories she has always wanted to read herself—comfort reads full of mystery, emotion, and warmth, always with the promise of a happy ending.
