Bestselling author Lana Penrose was born in Sydney, Australia. Her various incarnations have included record company promotions gal, music journalist, MTV producer and personal assistant to an iconic pop sensation known the world over. She also did a brief stint working with Simon Cowell. Lana moved to Greece and, as her mind melted, penned the critically acclaimed bestseller 'To Hellas & Back'. Her follow-up release 'Kickstart My Heart' is set in London and is something like Bridget Jones negotiating life with an axe through her head. Both memoirs were originally released through Penguin/Viking and have been extremely well received, and Lana's trilogy is now concluded courtesy of 'Addicted to Love'. Lana has appeared on national breakfast television and radio, and she and her books have featured in countless publications, including Vogue and broadsheet papers. She also appeared on stage as part of the Darren Hayes Big Night In tour throughout the UK, Ireland, Sydney and Thailand, and was a guest speaker on four panels at the prestigious Byron Bay Writers' Festival. With her stories being rife with musical references, a 'Kickstart My Heart' companion CD was released through Universal Music. 'To Hellas and Back' has been optioned for film adaptation.' Today Lana can be found gazing through her window in between writing thought-provoking sentences and wishing that she had a cat. New releases are in the works.
