Penrose Kickstarts 'To Hellas And Back'

Bestselling memoirs now available worldwide.

2012-11-30

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, November 30, 2012 (Press-News.org) Lana Penrose has today announced that her bestselling memoirs 'To Hellas and Back' and 'Kickstart My Heart' are available worldwide after the relinquishment of rights by Penguin/Viking.

Both humorous modern day tragedies have been made available via reading platforms Amazon.com and Smashwords.com in paperback and electronic format, meaning global availability and distribution.

Set in Greece, 'To Hellas & Back' is a true tale of love and intrigue that involves dog attacks, gypsy curses and public gropings. There are tears, laughter, heartache and minor gynecological concerns. But much more than that, the story is woven around the impact of living abroad on a young couple - one Greek, one not. Protagonist, Lana Penrose, is often reduced to a confused, shrugging mute and she describes her debut as, "'Eat Pray Love' face-plowing into a mound of steaming moussaka."

Her sequel, 'Kickstart My Heart', details her "spectacular ability to deal with an agonising breakup like Bridget Jones with an axe through her head." This book chronicles the reality of separation and divorce en route to new love.

Both releases have received critical acclaim in Australia. They're now re-packaged and ready for the rest of the world.

Lana Penrose is a former record company promotions manager, music journalist and MTV producer. She worked briefly with Simon Cowell and has been known for her affiliations with the pop elite.
