Stephanie Butland lives with her family near the sea in the North East of England. She writes in a studio at the bottom of her garden, and when she's not writing, she trains people to think more creatively. For fun, she reads, knits, sews, bakes, and spins. She is an occasional performance poet.
Stephanie is the author of The Lost for Words Bookshop, The Secrets We Keep, and Letters to My Husband.
"Filled with mystery and intrigue...Lovers of literature will enjoy
this mix of contemporary women's fiction and mystery."--Library
Journal (boxed) "Truly a book for book lovers. Readers who want to
get lost in a world of literature, love, and companionship in a
story about breaking out of the past to create a new life will fall
in love."--Booklist "Rich characterizations, a vibrant bookstore
setting, and several poignant Wednesday poetry nights will have
readers hoping for a sequel."--Publishers Weekly "A tale full of
romance and violence demanding readers not judge a book by its
cover."--Kirkus
"In The Lost for Words Bookshop, Stephanie Butland has created a
bibliophile's delight. Witty and irreverent, funny and sad, this is
a charming tribute to stories on the page and in our lives--and the
powers they can hold over us."--Matthew Sullivan author of Midnight
at the Bright Ideas Bookstore "Less a standard mystery than a
dramatic novel whose characters have deep dark secrets, it is
relatable and charming."--Fine Books & Collections Magazine
"The Lost for Words Bookshop pushes all my bookish buttons."--Red
(Books to Read) "Quirky, clever and unputdownable."--Katie Fforde
"Burns fiercely with love and hurt. A rare and beautiful
novel."--Linda Green, bestselling author of While My Eyes Were
Closed "Brilliant...Loveday rules every page, she is a revelation,
a complicated heart string pulling enigma and her courage to let
people in even though it goes against all of her self-preservation
tools is amazing to experience."--The Reading Frenzy "A fantastic
story."--Red Carpet Crash "Loveday is an admirable young woman who
is very witty and ultimately realistic. The plot of The Lost for
Words Bookshop has just enough intrigue and mystery and is peopled
with honestly believable characters that I warmly recommend
it."--BookBrowse "[Loveday is] our narrator and though she never
asks us (or anyone) to like her, we soon enough do. Violence is
threatened and tension rises higher, but the resolution is hopeful
and completely convincing."--Shawangunk Journal and Sullivan County
