Penny Chrimes
Penny Chrimes worked for many years as a journalist, both in print and television journalism. She spent 18 years working at Sky News, where she was Executive Producer for political programmes (winning a BAFTA in 2008 for Best News Coverage of Glasgow Airport terror attack). She has also produced, directed and written documentaries using oral histories (Tsunami: 10 Years after the Wave; 7/7: 10 Years On).
Penny now writes full-time for children. Her two middle grade titles, Tiger Heart and The Dragon and her Boy, are part of the Gutterling Chronicles, which follow a group of orphan children living in an alternate Victorian London, where magic lurks just under the surface.
