Hello Creatives, I'm an award-winning, New York Times and USA Today bestselling thriller author as J.F. Penn, as well as writing non-fiction for authors.
I've sold over a million books to readers in 176 countries and 5 languages, as an independent (indie) author.
I'm also an international professional speaker and award-winning creative entrepreneur.
In 2018, I was awarded Publishing Commentator of the Year by Digital Book World.
My show, The Creative Penn Podcast, has been downloaded over 10 million times across 228 countries.
I'm based in Bath, England, although I lived in Australia and New Zealand for 11 years. I'm a travel junkie and am often away on book research trips to interesting places, which I share on my Books and Travel site.
I love walking, but also love relaxing with a book and a gin & tonic. I'm INFJ on the Myers Briggs, and Susan Cain's book, Quiet, changed my life when I realized that I was not weird in wanting to be alone a lot!
I spent 13 years as a business IT consultant in large corporates across Europe and Asia Pacific before becoming a full-time author-entrepreneur in September 2011.
