He was educated at Stowe School and St Peter's College, Oxford.
After working at The Times as a writer and commissioning editor from 1997 to 2001,[1] Pendle wrote his first book, published in 2005, Strange Angel: The Otherworldly Life of Rocket Scientist John Whiteside Parsons, which became the basis for the historical drama television series Strange Angel that ran from 2018 through 2019 on CBS All Access.[2]
Pendle's second book – The Remarkable Millard Fillmore: The Unbelievable Life of a Forgotten President (2007) is a faux-biography of the unlucky thirteenth President of the United States of America, Millard Fillmore.
His third book, Death: A Life (2008), is a comedic autobiography of the personification of Death and how he deals with his purpose, life, and love.
A collection of his non-fiction writing was released under the title Happy Failure in 2014.
