In this week’s episode of The Bookshop at the End of the Internet, author Christopher Parker discusses his debut novel, The Lighthouse. In this novel, a young couple’s chance encounter in a small seaside town known for its haunted lighthouse places them on a path to discover each other’s long-kept secrets and the shocking reason why fate brought them together. Christopher has crafted a story that mixes mystery, adventure and romance and a touch of magical realism. After the birth of his daughter, Christopher was inspired to write that full-length novel he’d always wanted to write. Drawing upon a story idea he had when he was a kid, Christopher set about writing his novel. Ten years later, The Lighthouse is finally complete and on bookshelves now. In this episode, I’ll chat with Christopher about his writing journey, the father-daughter story at the heart of The Lighthouse, and how he was surprised by the extent to which this book took over his life.
