Lucy Christopher

Lucy was born in Wales but grew up in Australia, living in Melbourne from aged 9 until the end of her Undergraduate degree. As a child, she loved camping in the bush and exploring the overgrown creek at the back of her house. Since then, she has been fascinated by the wild places of Australia, and has made several trips to her favourite part; the Outback. Now living in the UK again, Lucy has earned Distinction in a Creative Writing MA from Bath Spa University. She is currently undertaking a PhD to explore the ways that Australian literature represents wild places, particularly in its writing for young adults. Her debut novel, STOLEN, explores her thoughts about the Australian desert in the story of a teenage girl who is kidnapped and taken there.
