About this author

Penelope King is a native Californian who now lives in beautiful South Carolina. She says "y'all" more often than she'd like to admit, eats more fried food than is probably healthy, and still hasn't gotten used to the scary thunderstorms that seem to appear from out of nowhere.

She stays up way too late and does the bulk of her writing in the witching hours. She rarely misses a sunrise, and needs to include a special "thank you" in her book credits to Starbucks caramel frappuccinos.

When she's not writing, she's reading any and all YA out there, swimming, kayaking at the river, doing Zumba and kickboxing, or watching a trashy reality show. She can BBQ better than most men, and if she had to marry a food it would probably be pizza, but she'd c...more

Penelope King, Witchy, Witchy

“No, he wasn't like them at all. And even though my experience with the opposite sex was pitifully non-existent, this was someone I wanted to know. Someone I needed to know. Someone I needed to have know me.”

Mary Thanks for accepting my friend request!
Have a nice day & Happy Reading! =)


Graeme Stokes Hi Penelope, thanks for your kind friendship :)


Samantha Herndon I actually hadn't even heard of her before last week. I had went to my grandmother's house and she sent me home with over 25 books and that was one of them. I really did like her book and will totally look into the others!

I think I have read that one (a long time ago), but I love Fern Michaels and will totally read it again! :) If you haven't read the Texas, Kentucky and Vegas series from her you HAVE to. I looove them. This is like my 3rd or 4th time reading this series. So big and rich and totally transports you.


Samantha Herndon I saw you are reading Texas Rich and if you like it you should check out Trading Places. I just started it today, but it is a pretty decent book.
