If you feel like some beauty and light Monday with Sexton – Witch of Words

Josephine Pennicott


I'm a Sydney writer. I love daisies, rain, Miss Marple, roses, tea in bone-china cups, vintage frocks and bright lipstick.
I write mysteries, crime and dark fantasy. When not writing, I am playing with my daughter, Daisy and my partner, writer David Levell. We live in inner-city Sydney in a tiny brick house that is very old and filled with books.

Praise for Poet’s Cottage

Praise for Poet’s Cottage (Please see Poet’s Cottage section for more reviews.)’ ‘It’s testimony to Pennicott’s exquisite prose that just as you think you understand where the characters and stories are heading, your expectations are overturned. I loved this about the novel. What I also loved is that I could see these characters; what they wore, ate, how they walked. I could feel the wind on my face, walk through the misty streets of Pencubitt, and feel the cold embrace of Poet’s Cottage. Pennicott evokes time and place with a light and meaningful touch: a word, a mood, a gesture all bring the past and present lives of those dwelling in the village into acute focus. This is a gorgeous, sometimes harrowing but always moving and deep story that remains with you long after the last page. Simply lovely. A triumph.’ Thank you, Karen Brooks, Australian Author, columnist, journalist, corporate and educational speaker, academic and social commentator.

From Meredith Jaffe Editor of the Hoopla Bookshelf

Inspired by the deeply flawed relationship Enid Blyton had with her own daughters, Josephine Pennicott has created a tale rich with dark goings on worthy of comparison to Daphne Du Maurier’s Rebecca and vintage Agatha Christie. Pennicott has built her reputation as a writer of dark fantasy and even nastier crime but this, her first foray into mainstream fiction, is a cracker read. I read this book in one weekend and I promise you this book deserves all the accolades heaped upon it. thank you, Meredith.

‘Sometimes you can judge a book by it’s cover’

'Gothic mystery a purler Sometimes you can judge a book by its cover.' Thanks to Barbara Farrelly of the South Coast Register for her praise for Poet’s. Please see Poet’s Cottage section for longer versions of this and other reviews.

‘An Imaginative and intricate work of detective fiction’

‘an imaginative and intricate work of detective fiction. It is set in Tasmania which certainly evokes a beautiful and poignant setting. This is a thoroughly captivating mystery tale’ Thank you, F.J.O'Dwyer from the Chronicle (Toowoomba), Toowoomba QLD 07 Apr 2012

From Lisa Sinclair Woman’s Day

“…a haunting tale unfolds. We loved this evocative, gothic debut which flicks between past and present Tasmania. A satisfying read to curl up with on a Saturday afternoon.”
