A native Georgian, Pen has been writing since the age of ten.
On June 18, 2013, she suffered a heart attack after completing the Sword of Tilk Trilogy.
This experience has inspired her to plan a 600-mile walk from Atlanta, Georgia to Washington DC in celebration of her survival as well as gathering experience to write a new novel.
Currently, Pen resides in the Atlanta area where, in addition to writing as much as she possibly can, she is also staff to two felines.
