In June 1971, Alice Sanders is celebrating her sixth birthday at her family's Cornish country home in Lostmor.
By the end of the evening, an event has occurred that is so horrific it will change the family's lives forever.
Years later, following the death of her mother, Alice's sister, Lily, reluctantly returns to Cornwall for the reading of a mysterious will. Once there, with the help of new-found friends, she unravels a web of secrets surrounding her family's past, finds love, and unlocks the reasons for the nightmares that have plagued her since that fateful night.
Ann Smythe is a Bristolian who, in her younger years, worked a variety of jobs, including a stint as a 'runner' delivering medical files to hospital wards, a trainee nurse, and a plug-and-lamp switchboard operator for a famous hotel chain. While working at the hotel, she discovered a revolving book rack in the lobby kiosk, leading to a fascination with dark, suspenseful thrillers and a lifelong interest in Stephen King's work.
Finally honing her skills as a copy editor, she began her journey as a writer in 2020, and Secrets of Lostmor is her debut novel. Now living in North Somerset, she spends her days writing, drinking tea, and pandering to her elderly Jack Russell's eccentric needs!
