THE LOST

Today is the book birthday for the new expanded edition of THE LOST!!! 

THE LOST is about a woman who is trapped in a town full of only lost things and lost people... It's for everyone who has ever -- even if only for a moment -- felt as if you've lost your way, your dreams, or yourself. It's for everyone who's ever stopped at a traffic light and thought, "What if I didn't turn? What if I just went straight and didn't stop?" It's for everyone who wants to be found.

This book is really special to me, and I am so absolutely thrilled that it's out now with a brand-new beautiful cover (art by Fernando Juarez) and a brand-new expanded ending (two additional chapters!). There's also a brand-new audiobook with narration by the wonderful Caitlin Davies.

It was such a joy to revisit this book and give it the ending that I always wanted it to have. I'm so excited to share it with you! I hope you enjoy it!

Welcome to Lost!
