Penelope Holt was born and educated in England and now lives in New York. She is a novelist, playwright, business writer, and marketing executive, whose work has been performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, York Arts Center, and New York’s American Folk Theater. At the center of The Angel Scroll, Holt’s current novel and intriguing super natural thriller, is Claire Lucas, a bereaved young artist. Claire is consumed by a spiritual quest to understand the visions and other worldly events that have overtaken her since her husband’s untimely death. Pulled into an international scavenger hunt to track down a triptych of miraculous and healing paintings predicted by an ancient parchment dating back to the time of Jesus, she explores the world’s most sacred and holy places. When forced to confront evidence of miracles, reincarnation, and life after death, Claire turns for answers to a line-up of believers from different traditions and tests their mysteries of faith. Penelope Holt is married with two children and considers a life filled with family, tango, reading, writing, gardening, painting, and cooking to be fairly close to heaven on earth. The Angel Scroll Three miraculous paintings, two heartbroken lovers, one earth-shaking revelation.
