You can find Lucy's books at the following links (I've tried to use independent book shops wherever possible)
The Party To End All Parties - Lucy's latest book. A brilliant locked room crime thriller about a horrible hedonistic family (plus an awesome goat called Iggy Pop)
Girls To The Front - an utterly fantastic riot grrl influenced feminist revenge thriller.
The Twenty Seven Club - Lucy's debut novel, about friendship, mental health, and being a music fan in the 90s with a cameo from Senseless Things.
Parklife - the sequel to The Twenty Seven Club, following up with the same characters a year or so later, but this time dealing with addiction amongst the 90s music references.
