Estlin, Penny: - Penny was blessed with a happy childhood with her older brother and younger sister. Their home was filled with love and laughter, whilst living in both England and South Africa. Sadly, she had to leave school at 15 years to support her family, due to her father's illness.
She married and had two children, Jane and Martin. Penny's adult life was tough, but through the years she persevered, starting many businesses, mainly in property development. Whilst living in Spain, Penny experienced a chance meeting with someone who changed her life. She was invited to a New Year's Eve party on a private yacht in Puerto Banus, Costa del Sol. After admiring the owner's magnificent yacht moored on pier one, he told her, "If God says I can have it, I will. If he says I can't, I won't." Her ensuing discussions with him that evening changed her life. She never saw him again. No one else seemed to know him.
In 2004, she met Keith, a retired Royal Naval officer, in Normandy, France, where she lived. They married in France in 2006. He became her rock. On 10 June 2007, Penny experienced a call from God. He told her, "You will be used."
Stunned, Penny argued. "Why now? It's too late, I'm too old."
Yet she understood that she would have to study theology and achieve a degree! Impossible, as she had never studied academically.
Many years later, Penny has completed her B.A in Theology with Honours at the London School of Theology and Middlesex University by distant learning. During the last three years she began writing this allegorical series called The Book of Mirrors. The first book is Magical Mysteries previously published as The Seven Signs.
