Welcome to the Author Spotlight Podcast by Morpheus Publishing!

In this heartfelt episode, host Justine Martin, founder and CEO of Morpheus Publishing, sits down with inspiring author Penelope Gemmell, who shares the powerful story behind her debut book, Observations from a Wheelchair.

Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in 2001, Penelope's journey from intensive care nurse to published author is one of resilience, humour, and unexpected empowerment through disability. This episode dives deep into:

🔹 Penelope's journey from walking aids to embracing wheelchair life
🔹 Her candid reflections on disability, independence, and public perception
🔹 How the Morpheus Inner Circle Writing Group helped her become a published author
🔹 The emotional and practical realities of writing with a chronic illness
🔹 Why Observations from a Wheelchair is a must-read for allies, carers, and anyone navigating life with a disability

We can’t wait to share this powerful and heartfelt book with you in person at the official launch celebration.
