Please join me in welcoming Penny Lockwood Ehrenkranz to Highlighted Author.


Penny is an author of fiction as well as non-fiction, having written articles offering advice to both parents and teens while working as a volunteer for several non-profit organizations.  Her non-fiction has appeared in parenting, writing, and teen magazines. Her fiction leans toward fantasy and soft science fiction, often with a touch of romance, and has been published in a number of small press genre magazines and online.

She works as an acquisitions editor with 4RV Publishing and a line editor with MuseItUp Publishing, and has worked as a copyeditor with Damnation Books LLC/Eternal Press.

Welcome, Penny, please tell us about yourself.

I am Penny Lockwood Ehrenkranz and like most authors, I’ve been writing since I was a child. I first became interested in stories as a preschooler, when my dad would make up stories for us before we went to bed.  He had a wonderful imagination, and I deeply regret losing him from my life when I was ten, and he lost his battle with cancer.

Savannah is an author of erotica, and romance. She started putting pen to paper as a young schoolgirl. Music inspired her to write lyrics, which eventually turned into stories. Her stories have gotten better, longer and more erotic as the years passed. She’s a hopeless romantic who believes that everyone has a soul mate.

Savannah is a member of the Romance Writers of America, Toronto Romance Writers, and Erotic Authors Association. She’s currently published with multiple publishing houses, and has won numerous awards for her books. She's here today to share her upcoming release, Taste of Passion.

About the Diamond State Romance Authors

On a spring day in 2006, five Arkansas Romance Writers of America® (RWA) (and another three in spirit) met and formed the Diamond State Romance Authors (DSRA). Three more meetings followed, all open to interested RWA members and RWA member-gonnabes, in which we discussed and decided upon things such as chapter goals, bylaws and basic policies and procedures. Today, there are more than 25 members, many of whom are published romance novelists.
