Carrie Hope Fletcher is an actress, singer, author and vlogger. Carrie's first book, All I Know Now, was a number one Sunday Times bestseller and her debut novel, On the Other Side, also went straight to number one. In The Time We Lost is Carrie's fourth novel.

Carrie played the role of Eponine in Les Misérables at the Queen's Theatre in London's West End for almost three years. She has since stared in and received awards for a number of productions including The War of the Worlds, The Addams Family, and Heathers: The Musical. Carrie will soon rejoin Les Misérables, this time playing Fantine, in a new concert version at the Gielgud Theatre.

Carrie lives just outside of London with numerous fictional friends that she keeps on bookshelves, just in case.
