Publisher: Phenomenal One Press

Penelope Pawn had an addiction. She liked candy, sword-fighting shadows, and boys. Still, something was seriously wrong and she couldn’t put her finger on it. Being homeless wasn’t as bad for her as it was for most. She had a way of collecting kids that turned into family, like brothers and sisters. Unfortunately, every time another kid agreed to come with her to the hiding place she’d created, a rush of power would surge through her like she’d consumed a drug, sealed a deal, or done something wrong. There was one guy, though, who wouldn’t come. When Terek showed up at her doorstep, a place well hidden from most others, and demanded she heed his warning, it was the first time she feared an enemy's strength. Was he a challenge that could become her savior, revealing the truth of her past to her? Could this boy show her how to repair the fiber of the world she’d unknowingly ripped apart, causing a catastrophic end to the home she’d built for herself and the lost ones?

 

Interview with LM Preston

What is your favorite part of the book?

My favorite part of Lost is when Peppa discovers her memories.

Does your book have a lesson? Moral?

The main message conveyed in Lost is that there is always a way to fight for your answers, your freedom and knowing yourself is the start.

Are your characters based off real people or did they all come entirely from your imagination?

My characters are a culmination of my childhood friends and my kids.

Of all the characters you have created, which is your favorite and why?

Peppa is my favorite because she has such strength and fierce love to protect others.

What character in your book are you least likely to get along with?

Irric is a complex character who can e a bit manipulative.

What would the main character in your book have to say about you?

My main character would think that I am quite punishing.

Do you want each book to stand on its own, or are you trying to build a body of work with connections between each book?

Lost is part of the Misfits series which is a spinoff from my Vigilant series. It stands on its own, yet is part of a larger body of work.
