About the author

George Penney is a US, Canadian, UK and Australian best-selling comedy fiction author who was once saved from being a bunny-slipper-wearing academic by an unexpected three book publishing deal with Penguin Random House. She’s a driven workaholic who spends her spare time people watching, tramping around the wilds of Aotearoa New Zealand, voraciously reading and researching for fun—when she’s not actively trying to wind up her partner-in-crime and co-writer, Tony Johnson.

George has lived a determinedly eccentric life, spanning over fifty places around the globe and blames her life choices on watching the Indiana Jones movies at an impressionable age. 

She'd fight to her death for a morning cup of tea, would cuddle an entire zoo if she could, adores staying up late debating philosophy, enjoys world cinema, absurd anime and new music every day. She considers both Ripley and the Alien Queen to be strong female role models.

She is utterly obsessed with sharks and would like to be eaten on her hundredth birthday by a low-flying great white.
