Lucy Christopher is a British/Australian author renowned for her captivating novels, including the highly acclaimed Stolen, which not only won the Branford Boase award in 2010 in the UK but also secured the 2010 Gold Inky in Australia. Lucy's journey into the world of writing began in Wales, where she was born, but it was in Australia where she grew up and honed her craft.

After obtaining an undergraduate degree at Melbourne University, Lucy relocated to the United Kingdom to pursue a Creative Writing MA at Bath Spa University, a journey that led to her distinction and the birth of her novel FLYAWAY, initially titled The Long Flight. Her debut novel, Stolen, was a product of her PhD degree and offers a profound exploration of the Australian desert through the story of a teenage girl's kidnapping.

Beyond her novels, Lucy Christopher has led a life rich with experiences, having lived in roughly 25 different houses across three countries, immersing herself in diverse cultures and narratives. She considers herself both British and Australian, yet also transcends national identity, finding solace in the universality of storytelling. Her academic achievements include a Bachelor in Creative Arts and a PhD in Creative Writing, both from prestigious institutions.

Lucy's passion extends beyond writing; she is an avid educator, speaker, and academic who thrives in the realm of creative writing workshops, particularly those involving young readers and writers. Her life is a tapestry of creative endeavors, from running residential retreats worldwide to participating in book festivals and offering private manuscript assessments.

When not enveloped in the world of words, Lucy enjoys the company of Rocket, her energetic lurcher, horseback riding, traveling, and, of course, devouring a plethora of books across various genres. Her love for storytelling is both her profession and her personal joy, making her a prominent figure in the literary world.
