Liz Hurley is a British author best known for her romantic fiction and walking guides. She writes romance novels and mysteries under the pen name Anna Penrose. Her best-known works include the Hiverton Sisters series, A New Life for Ariana Byrne (2020) and Aster Victorious (2024). Hurley was a finalist for the Romantic Novelist of the Year Award.
Her writing career began with walking guides, inspired by her lifelong love of the Cornish landscape. “Cornwall has always been more than just a place for me. It's a source of inspiration," she says. Her guides, which often focus on dog walks, reflect her belief that walking should be accessible to everyone. “I'm not a young, fit athlete. I'm just someone who loves getting out there and discovering new places.”
She founded Mudlark’s Press in 2016 to publish her own work. The name comes from her childhood nickname and reflects her playful and curious approach to discovery. She then moved into fiction, writing across genres and using different pen names for clarity. She writes murder mysteries under the name Anna Penrose. As Eva St John, Liz writes science fiction, including the Quantum Curators series.
The Hiverton Sisters series follows five sisters who rise from modest backgrounds after receiving a surprising inheritance. Each book focuses on a different sister as she navigates high society, love, and her sense of identity. The series comprises Dear Diary (2018), Cornish Dreams at Cockleshell Cottage (2021), High Heels in the Highlands (2022) and From Ireland with Love (2021).
The stories combine humour, romance, and themes of self-discovery. Readers follow the sisters as they confront old rivalries, embrace new titles, and adapt to unfamiliar social roles. Despite their sudden change in fortune, each sister remains true to her values. The books are published under the Mudlark's Press imprint.
