SARAH PENNER is the author of The Lost Apothecary, which, on its release in the USA in 2021, immediately flew to the heady heights of the New York Times Top Ten Best Seller List. Published by Park Row Books/HarperCollins in the US and by Legend Press in the UK, the book is now in paperback and her readers are eagerly awaiting Sarah’s second book due to be released in April 2023 entitled The London Séance Society.
As Sarah and I walk and talk through the streets of London, Sarah reveals why London is the setting behind her book, her love of London, and particularly her curiosity in history, the past and the many untold stories that she feels are just waiting to be re-imagined into historical fiction.
Sarah’s fascination with women’s roles in the past and present, potions and poisons, intrigue and empowerment are influential themes that drove Sarah to give up her 13 years in the American finance world and become a full-time writer.
“I love to work…
When I’m tired I rest.
I take my mental health really seriously.”
“Maintaining a sense of belief in your own creative work...(is so important)...we’re the most critical (of it)... Is this good enough? Will it ruin my name? Will my editor like it?"
"Believe in your own work.”
