Paula Lennon was born to Jamaican parents in England. She lived in Jamaica during her teens and developed a great affinity for the island. Although Paula came back to England to study law and was once a London commercial lawyer, she eventually saw sense and returned to live where the weather is more conducive to smiling. On most days Paula can be found in Montego Bay, writing novels in many genres or just admiring the Caribbean Sea.

Her first historical novel is THE CASE OF THE MAD DOCTOR, published by Canelo on 10 July 2025. Written as THE ADVENTURES OF ISAIAH OLLENU, the book placed second in the I Am In Print Novel Awards 2023 sponsored by Canelo.
