Date: June 30, 2026:

It breaks my heart to update this page, but it needs to be done. My mom, Penelope Nicholas, passed away in October, 2024. She is interred at West Lawn Cemetery, Lowell, MA. Her rose-colored headstone will be placed shortly. Since I have been involved with all her works, editing, publishing, updating the domain, and hosting this site, I will continue my efforts for the time being, and I will update it every now and then. For now, please know that she loved writing, she loved sharing her poetry, and she loved painting her artwork. She is so very much missed by yours truly, along with all her loved ones.

I love you, mom.

~Toni Nicholas

Author’s Bio:

Penelope Nicholas was born and raised in Lowell, Mass. and was educated in the Lowell school system. She was a descendant of Greek immigrants, Antonios and Joanna Savaris, and was a member of the Holy Trinity Orthodox Church of Lowell, Massachusetts, the first Greek Orthodox church built in the United States.

She spoke and wrote in both Greek and English. She also wrote poetry and was the recipient of The Editor’s Choice Award by The International Library of Poetry. She was very versatile in her writing and had written many children’s books as well as poetry and stories about everyday life.

Amazon’s Kindle is a great way to carry her wonderful stories and, with its voice feature, children and adults can listen to her stories as well as read them. Her love of writing came very early in life, and she had hoped that you enjoy her work as much as she enjoyed writing them.
