Chris Penhall writes uplifting stories set in gorgeous places.

A member of The Society of Authors and the Romantic Novelists Association, she won the 2019 Choc-Lit Search for a Star competition, sponsored by Your Cat Magazine, for her debut novel, The House That Alice Built, and has since written 6 more books, the most recent of which is her first Christmas novel - The Christmas Wedding Bus.

Born in South Wales, she has also lived in London and in Portugal which have all provided inspiration for her novels.
She has worked for BBC local radio for many years, producing programmes, sometimes talking on air, and producing 4 one-hour radio documentaries about salsa and comedy. A very, very long time ago, she worked for BBC Radio 4 - where she spent some time working on a programme called Bookshelf, (which was about books!) and for Radio 1 before leaving, trying new things for a few years, and ending up back working in radio again! She is also a podcast and content producer - working for Jibba Jabba Pods as an Associate Producer on the Richard and Judy Book Club Podcast from 2011 to 2020, and has her own community radio programme, called Books and Tunes.

Chris has also interviewed authors at Essex Book Festival events, was a judge on both the BBC Essex radio play competition for two years and with the Essex Book Festival for the Essex Gardens Trust Beth Chatto Writers Prize 2022.
She also runs small writing workshops, is a manuscript assessor for the RNA New Writers Scheme and mentors authos in their writing journey.

A lover of books, music and cats, Chris is also an enthusiastic salsa and tap dancer, a keen cook, and loves to travel.
She is never happier than when she is gazing at the sea.
