About  

Persephone Lewin F.G.A., D.G.A

Persephone was educated at an independent girls’ day school, after age 11.

Articles published, written in light-hearted vein, have appeared mainly in Practical Boat Owner, Britain’s biggest selling yachting magazine.

She ran small manufacturing company for many years when she gave the business to her son-in-law in order to write and help her husband with all aspects of the forensic work. While she had the company she patented several products. The problems of Cadwallader, the inventor in her fiction Once Bitten, are all too familiar to her.

She is a member of the Society of Authors. She has made presentations to the British Association of Forensic Odontologists (BAFO) and to police services on forensic case work, showing animated computer - generated overlays.

They work together on cases in the mortuary and on the analysis, after which they diverge: while David gives expert evidence from the witness box, his wife projects an image of the injury onto an eight foot wide screen and move the outlines of the weapon over the top of it. A part of the outline can be deleted to demonstrate the continuation of the pattern on the skin underneath. They seem to be an intriguing phenomenon on the forensic scene - a husband and wife team.

A few years ago Persephone retired after nine years as Honorary Press Officer for a RNLI fast response lifeboat (David was director of operations). The media have written that they ‘work with those who save life and with those who take life away.’

She is keen on boats - cruising and racing - and, probably because she’s never had a TV, enjoys playing in mud with small children.
Fairly recently she embarked on stand-up comedy, with trumpet and penguin, and has never looked back.

Persephone has two children and lives in East Anglia.
