Lucy

Ever since she was read to in an incubator as a baby, Lucy has loved books (well, that’s what her mum says!). Lucy began her career in design for publishing before transitioning into writing and bookselling.

 New to the Island, she’s keen to get to know the community better. Whilst, she aims to read as widely as possible, she always comes back to contemporary fiction as one of her favourite genres.
