Every book tells a story. Every heart hides a secret.
The Lost Bookshop meets the Lost Apothecary in a beguiling novel full of secrets...
Every heart is a doorway, and all stories are waiting to be told...

Person
Sophie Austin was born in Kent and she earned her Bachelor's degree in Philosophy from King's College London in 2013. After spending five years working in marketing, Sophie moved to Sweden in 2017 to focus on her novel writing and gain her Masters in Transnational Creative Writing at Stockholm University. Now, Sophie works as a Creative Writer for Minecraft, the best-selling video game of all time. When she's not writing YouTube scripts for millions of viewers, she retreats to the turn of the century to write historical novels about a time where old Victorian values and turn-of-the-century inventions collide - a perfect, conflict-rich backdrop for her debut romance novel: The Lamplighter's Bookshop. Sophie is hard at work on her next historical romance. Find her on twitter @shortieaustin
