Bookable Space with Sharon Skinner

Season 1, Ep. 15

Hosted by Yvonne Battle-Felton, this episode of Bookable Space features Sharon Skinner reading from Lostuns Found.


About the book: The smoke-covered, steam-powered city of Landings is a rough place where orphans and lost children known as streeters struggle to survive by banding together, forming rival crews. But when their fellow streeters begin to disappear, Gage and Wynd must put aside their long-standing rivalry and work together to rescue their mates from a crew of ruthless, kidnapping smugglers. But can a pact made under pressure be trusted? 

Written with a wink and a nod to JM Barrie and Charles Dickens, Lostuns Found is a story of losing and finding family and what it really means to belong.

The Witches of Woodville are having none of it, but when more witches arrive they realise they might have a spy in their midst, and it’s up to Faye Bright to uncover the traitor. But she’s got enough on her plate already with the ghost of a Polish Hurricane pilot who may hold the key to the truth. MARK STAY BIOMark Stay got a part-time Christmas job at Waterstone’s in the nineties (back when it still had an apostrophe) and, despite being working class and quite lippy, somehow ended up working in publishing for over 25 years.
