The Book of Lost Stories Paperback – Sept. 9 2025
鶹
Cleo Finch has loved gothic literature all her life. She’s spent years researching and writing her thesis on the works of one gothic novelist in particular, Orlando Browne, and is determined to prove that Browne was the pen name of a female author, Alys Weston.
But as her best friend Tris never fails to remind her, she still hasn’t succeeded in finding concrete evidence that proves this to be true.
That is, until Cleo’s Uncle Ambrose unknowingly gifts her Alys’ very own journal, forgotten in a stack of first-edition gothic novels.
As Cleo begins deciphering Alys' diary entries, she finds herself utterly absorbed by Alys' vivid descriptions of the people in her own life - particularly the rakish Lord Rayven - and the challenges Alys faced trying to keep Orlando’s true identity a secret.
And so, newly inspired, Cleo sets aside her thesis to pen a gothic novel of her own . . .
Previously published as Lord Rayven's Revenge. This edition has been updated with new material from the author.

About the author

Sunday Times Top Ten bestselling novelist Trisha Ashley writes romantic comedies and her latest book, The Wedding Dress Repair Shop, was published in 2023 by Transworld. Her next novel, The Christmas Retreat, is coming soon!
Her novels have twice been shortlisted for the Melissa Nathan Award for Romantic Comedy, as well as two shortlists and one win (in 2024) of the Romantic Novelists Association Popular Romantic Fiction Award. Every Woman for Herself was also nominated by magazine readers as one of the top three romantic novels of the last fifty years.
She is from St Helens in West Lancashire, and believes that her typically dark Lancashire sense of humour in adversity, crossed with a good dose of Celtic creativity from her Welsh grandmother, has made her what she is today... whatever that is.
Several of her novels are set in rural West Lancashire, West Yorkshire and Wales. They frequently explore aspects of the three elements that are a constant in her own life: Food, Flowers and Friendship, and include delicious recipes at the back.
Nowadays she lives in North Wales and is the founder member of Novelistas Ink, a group of novelists, several of whom are bestselling, who meet regularly in North Wales.
She is a long-term member of the Society of Authors.
