Meet the participants of the #LlandeiloBookFair: Lisa Shambrook

Today's interview guest is an old favourite and well-known guest at the Llandeilo Book fair. Welcome back Lisa Shambrook, deom Carmarthen. Please tell us about the books you’ll be bringing to the Book Fair. 

Beneath the Rainbow:
Freya won’t let anything stand in her way. Not even death. Freya’s family are left to fulfil her dreams, but as time runs out final yearned for wishes remain lost. Only Freya can help as precious life hangs in the balance.

Beneath the Old Oak:
Meg thinks her mother is broken. Is she broken too? Meg’s life spirals out of control and she’s terrified she’ll inherit her mother’s sins. Seeking refuge and escape she finds solace beneath a huge, old oak, but a devastating storm will change her life forever.
Beneath the Distant Star:
Jasmine feels like the ghost of the sister she can no longer remember and has something her sister never will – life. She fights to become her own person. Life becomes a battleground as she disregards the rules and her reckless abandon threatens to destroy what she needs most.

My newest release A Symphony of Dragons is a collection of my own short stories which connect my Hope Within books and my new chronicles, and follow the theme of dragons…

Which genres do they belong to? 


My three Hope Within Novels belong in the contemporary and Young Adult genres, but have delighted all ages. The short story collection embraces dragons and the eclectic genres of Steampunk, fantasy, contemporary, romance and more!

What are the characters and plots like?

My characters are real and vulnerable in the Hope Within novels, the plots cover a range of difficult subjects which will inspire those who read them.

Tell us about your newest book.

I’m currently working on The Seren Stone Chronicles which I am loving writing. This is Wales far, far into the future: ‘Centuries beyond post-apocalyptic, the landscape of Wales has turned into a whole new country…and the rumble of dragons has returned…’

Which of your books are you’re most proud of, and why?

I am totally engaged in my current writing, but I am proud of each of my books in different ways.

What is the best thing that has been said about your books? 


One of the best compliment has been having my writing likened to Virginia Woolf and Mitch Albom.

Why did you decide to come to the Llandeilo Book Fair?

I have been before and the atmosphere is fun and friendly and the visitors are lovely!

Do you have a special connection to Wales?

I moved to Wales twenty-three years ago and I love it. The Welsh countryside has inspired my latest writing, and the myths, legends, and nature continue to enchant and rouse me.

What is your personal background?

I am a quiet introvert and I live within my words! I have a lovely husband and three children, and have been writing since my youngest was born.  I also have cats and a neurotic German Shepherd!

Who are your favourite authors?

It’s always been Garth Nix and Tolkien, but Patrick Rothfuss and Philip Pullman are right up there.
