Stacey Roberts spent her early childhood in a New England town not too far from the setting of The Lights of Pembroke Road. In this, her first novel, Roberts weaves childhood memories, family anecdotes and her own vivid imagination to create what was named a shortlist selection by the 2018 London Magazine Novel Writing Competition. She is active in her community book club, volunteers at her local library and is a member of the local Coffee House Writer's Group. She has two grown daughters and lives in California with her husband and their very spoiled and much-loved pug Daisy. She is currently working on her second novel.
