Penny Estelle
My name is Penny Estelle and I was an elementary school secretary for 21 years. I heard every excuse and story in the book when kids would be sent to the principal. I promised myself when I retired I would write stories about kids and that is just what I did.
I am retired with my wonderful husband and we live on a fifty-four acre ranch in Arizona on solar and wind. I am the “greenest” person and I know, even if I don’t want to be!

My current novel is a black comedy called Accidental Hitman and I've been delighted by the response it has received. My next release is going to be a short story collection. I've written all the stories and I'm just giving them a final polish before letting them loose on the world.

Winning a tin of chocolate in a national essay competition at primary school inspired me to become a writer!
After graduating from UEA, I took various jobs in the public sector writing research papers and policy notes by day and filling up spare drawers with embryonic novels by night. Losing my dad to cancer made me realise that if I was ever going to get a novel published I had to put my writing first.
I live and write on the west Wales coast. I'm proud to be part of the Choc Lit selection box. I'm also published by Honno Welsh Women's Press.

Berend Van der Poll
I was born in South Africa in 1979 and discovered my love for writing twenty-three years later. I find it very easy to create good characters, because each one of them is created using a part of me. As a child, it was hard settling down and making friends, because we moved around a lot. When I am not writing, I am enjoying fine pencil art - something I have been doing since I was seven years old, and spending time with my beautiful family.
I live in Fish Hoek with my wife, Melanie, and Tyler – our son.
