One Author. Two writers.
‘Mel Penrose’ is the pen name of former journalists Mike Truscott and Francesca Hanikova whose heartwarming, amusing storylines – laced with Cornish sea air – aim to appeal to a broad readership.
Following many years working in the media, including 25 years running his PR company, Cornish-born Mike wrote local history books before embracing fiction. Married with two adult daughters, Mike lives in Falmouth and, as well as writing, enjoys painting, walking, swimming, and blogging.
He is a life-long football fan and, until retirement, was PR officer for Truro City, Cornwall’s premier football club.
