Penny Young

Penny Young was born in Luton (or Kuton, as her driving licence once misspelled it) in October 1959, just two months short of 1960. This irritating circumstance meant that she had to put up with being a Fifties baby rather than a cool and hip Sixties baby. Despite this major setback, she went on to gain her cycling proficiency test, her 10 metres underwater certificate and her Brownies cookery badge in the space of just three years.
She is a former journalist, who now writes regular columns in The Sofa Diaries, at www.sofadiaries.wordpress.com, about her life as a middle-aged, menopausal, middle-class housewife and mother of three adorable former rapscallions who are now grown-up and doing extremely well in life, thank you very much.
Her first novel, The Housewife's Guide to Homicide, is a piece of work she is confident that her former English teacher would be pleasantly surprised by (especially after her disappointing C grade in English Literature 'O' level). The majority of apostrophes are in the right place, and it has a beginning, a middle and an end.
She has not yet won the Pulitzer Prize or the Booker Prize, but there is still time.
