Stolen

Lucy Christopher was born in Wales but grew up in Australia, living in Melbourne from aged 9 until the end of her Undergraduate degree at Melbourne University. After various attempts at being an actor, a coffee maker, a waitress and a nature guide, she moved back to the UK to earn a distinction in a Creative Writing MA from Bath Spa University. The novel she wrote for this course, The Long Flight, was picked up by The Chicken House and will be published under a new name of FLYAWAY. She is currently undertaking a PhD with Bath Spa University to explore the ways that Australian literature represents wild places, particularly in its writing for young adults. Lucy's debut novel, Stolen, was written as part of this PhD. Lucy is now working on another teen novel. In between writing, Lucy spends her time daydreaming, emailing friends around the world, riding a grumpy chestnut mare named Topaz and helping to run a kid's wildlife group.
