Auteur: Penny McCall

Penny McCall was born and raised in southeastern Michigan, the seventh of nine children, whose claim to fame was reading five books a week in grade school. Needless to say, her obsession with the written word only grew from there  » despite a short, and misguided, foray into the world of computer science (the « sensible » job path). With the help and support of one of her sisters, she began to write « and write and write and write » and finally sold her first novel in 1997 (as Penny McCusker.) Four more followed, until that line closed down in 2001, and after a little hiatus  » and yet another change of direction  » she began to write humor, if only to satisfy her inner smart aleck. Berkley bought her first story about a sarcastic FBI agent and a librarian with a photographic memory (All Jacked Up), and she »s been happily writing for them ever since.
