Born in 1934 in Newark, Ohio, the author has been interested in writing since she was 10. At 16, Penny wrote her first unpublished story for "True Confessions" magazine. In the mid-1960s, she wrote part-time publicity for a television program and later worked as a Public Relations Assistant in the WKYC-TV Public Relations Department. Penny was too busy with life to submit her writing until 2012, when she submitted a personal essay, "Not My Will, But Thine Be Done," to "Venture Inward" magazine. The essay was published in their Volume 28 Number 4 issue soon after. Penny is a letter and journal writer; and has partially used those two mediums and her memory to tell her story in "Developing Resilience."
