Although Pennie Mae Cartawick has been writing for many years, she has only recently decided to publish some of her work. Her first book as a new author 'Choosing the right diet for success' became a best seller. Her very first publication date was 7th January 2014.
She is an author of both fiction and nonfiction books. Her work is based on a variety of subjects including weight management, nutrition, recipe books, and horror novelettes. But perhaps, she is best know for her Sherlock Holmes mysteries. She has had several of these mysteries produced into audio books and narrated by such celebrity actors as Mark Deakins, P.J. Ochlan, Barbara Goodson, Ian Whitcomb, Joey D' Auria, Simon Prebble,and Alex Hyde-White.
She also draws her own illustrations for some of her short stories such as in "Silence Be Damned" and "The EXCHANGE". Most of books have achieved the top 100 best seller list within the first week of publication.
She was born in the city of Sheffield in South Yorkshire, England. Shortly after graduating high school, she worked as a model and attended Shirecliffe College for Drama. Thereafter, she attended Stannington College for English, Art, Communication Skills and Photography. She then moved to London in her early twenties, where she studied and attained a career as a Beauty Therapist. She also obtained various certifications at DaneGlow International for slimming wraps and other deep heat treatments, and Thalgo Cosmetics for makeup (a French Company focusing on marine cosmetics). Her specialized skills include makeup, Swedish massage, reflexology, nutrition, diet and exercise.
She migrated to Florida in 1993, where she has been living ever since. Although her profession now-a-days is as a real estate investor and a freelance beauty consultant, her passion is writing, and she uses the knowledge she acquired throughout the years on various subjects to enlighten others.
She is the youngest sibling of three, including Anthony and Mark Cartawick.

Sherlock Holmes: The Flight Collection by Pennie Mae Cartawick contains three short Sherlock Holmes stories by this author. Included are: The Case of the Missing Mayan Codices; Murders on the Voyage to India; and The Heist. All three are true to character, imaginative and entertaining. In the first story, irreplaceable authentic early Mayan Codices are missing, and Holmes is called upon to find and return them. Next, Holmes and Watson are aboard ship en route to India, ostensibly for a vacation, but a number of murders on board the ship pit Holmes’ gray matter against certain inconsistencies in the clues. Third, The Heist takes place in a London bank; the bank is robbed, but it appears nothing was taken. Of course, appearances can be deceiving, but why would someone steal an apple? All three of these short stories provide just the right length and depth expected in a good Sherlock adventure.
Sherlock Holmes: The Flight Collection presents Sherlock Holmes fans with three new, authentic Holmes mysteries to enjoy. Cartawick possesses an aptitude for contriving knotty mysteries only Sherlock Holmes could unravel; the shorts in this collection convincingly demonstrate that proficiency. Each of these stories is original, but Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s characters are faithfully reproduced. The perplexing clues Holmes uncovers while solving these three mysteries are as intricate as any in the original Holmes adventures. If you enjoy Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes short stories, you will want to read this collection. The mysteries in this collection are worthy fodder for the great Sherlock’s incomparable mind, and Holmes fans will not hesitate to give this collection a place in their libraries.
