From inside the tower the first bars of ‘Bat Out of Hell’ began to play.
‘Come on,’ she said, slipping her arm through his. ‘That’s enough about the past for now. There’s a future starting in there. That’s where I want to be, don’t you?’
Acknowledgements
As always, getting a book to the publishing stage takes a large and dedicated group of people, so I have many thanks to give. First of all, to my editors Clare Hey and Louise Davies, first for being interested in the idea of The Lighthouse Bookshop and then for providing the encouragement and expertise to shepherd it into this finished form. Thank you, as always, to my agent Ella Kahn: without your encouragement I wouldn’t be writing adult fiction at all.
I wrote The Lighthouse Bookshop as Covid chaos continued to stymie our lives. It was a huge blessing to be able to escape to Newton Dunbar every day, so a massive thank you is due to Simon & Schuster for allowing me to do that. More specifically, besides my wonderful editors mentioned above, thank you to Pip Watkins for the beautiful cover, Sabah Khan for marketing, Sara-Jade Virtue for brand direction, Anne O’Brien for the copyedit, Maddie Allan and Kat Scott in sales, and production controller Francesca Sironi. Without you, this book would not exist.
Last but by no means least, huge thanks and love to my husband Adam Newell for your continued patience and unwavering love of bookshops. You are still the only person I know who opened one by mistake. Our life together revolves around books, and I love it.

About the Author
Sharon Gosling and her husband live in a very remote village in northern Cumbria, where they moved to run a second-hand bookshop, Withnail Books in Penrith, surrounded by fells, sheep and a host of lovely neighbours who will one day make very good characters in their own book. When she’s not writing, she bakes a lot of cake and bread, creates beautiful linocut jewellery, attempts to grow things in an allotment, and catches the baby rabbits unhelpfully brought in by the cat.
Sharon is the author of multiple children’s books. She started her career as an entertainment journalist, and still also writes non-fiction books about film and television, including, most recently, tie-ins for the Tomb Raider, Wonder Woman and Men in Black IV films for Titan Books. Her short stories are regularly published in The People’s Friend magazine.
