More About the Author

My aim in writing is to make goodness attractive. I love simple human kindness and gentleness, and I am moved by human vulnerability. I am fascinated by the power that is within our grasp to lift one another up, to heal and strengthen and encourage each other - our power to bless.
In the novels I write, I think of the reader sitting down to enjoy a book, the door of their imagination open wide to allow the story in to influence and shape their spirit. I accept the responsibility that confers as a great privilege, and it is my intention that when you put down any book of mine at the end of reading it, you will feel hopeful, peaceful and comforted, more ready to look on your fellow human beings with compassion and see their point of view.
I live in the English town on Hastings, on East Sussex's south coast. I write a blog called Kindred of the Quiet Way.
I would like to encourage you who are reading this to take the trouble to review on Amazon the books you read - as a reader I find customer reviews immensely helpful in making up my mind whether to purchase a book, and as a writer I find readers' reviews so valuable as feedback and food for thought.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book ever on this subject!, April 5, 2009

Having worked as a Hospice chaplain for over 12 years, I have read a lot on the subject of death and dying. This is by far the best book I have come across, not only on the subject of dying and bereaved people, but pertaining to life itself. It is a jewel and I recommend it every chance I get! Hope you will read it too!

3.0 out of 5 stars Insightful - Penelope definately mastered companionship, March 14, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Spiritual Care of Dying and Bereaved People (Paperback)
I could feel Penelope's compassion for people and sensed her awareness of each person's spirit and the intensity of life and death. She drew me into achieving this same sense of compassion - accompanying those dying and bereaved on this final journey in life. For those not as in tune with people, I found her approach to those of little or no faith leaving me occasionally doubting her christian belief's. Her final chapter left me sad, but she was able to draw me in so that I felt I spiritually understood. I believe God guided Penelope in all her work; however, I wondered if others would walk away with this same feeling.
