Penn Adams is originally from London where she worked on two national newspapers and a women’s magazine before going to London University to study geography.  She left the UK in 1989 to backpack around the world and ended up staying in Australia.  Here, Penn worked in conservation and not-for-profit organisations, all the while writing – both commercially and for fun.  She trained as a teacher in 2008 and now lives in the paradise land of northern New South Wales encircled by rainforests, beaches and the glorious Pacific Ocean.
