About me...

Hi, I’m Lorna Penny, a writer with a passion for storytelling that blends mystery, wit, and a touch of the unexpected. I’m the creator of the Mistlefield Murder Series, a cosy mystery collection set in the charming British countryside and other European destinations, and Neuromundus, a futuristic adventure exploring a world where neurodivergence is the norm.

My journey as a writer comes from years of curiosity about people, places, and the stories that connect us all. With an interest in psychology ( being neurodivergent myself), a love for antiques, and a fascination with both the quirky and the profound, I draw inspiration from everyday life, my experiences in various industries, and my personal adventures. I enjoy painting and crafts so I'm always creating. 

On this website, you’ll find a mix of updates on my current writing projects, blog posts about my process, and glimpses into the next chapters of my life and stories. From cosy mysteries to speculative fiction, I write to entertain, to provoke thought, and to share the stories that make us all a little more human.

Thank you for visiting—I hope you enjoy the journey as much as I do!
