However, this post seems to indicate that we’re definitely getting a Stolen 2. However, there’s been talk about a movie for ages with nothing coming of it. Now, I know everyone is also excited about the movie, and of course, I am as well. If so many people loved her book of creepy kidnapper/stalker, maybe one day they’ll love mine too. It inspired me to not be ashamed of writing stalker fiction. The original book shaped how and who I am as a writer. I freaked out and reblogged it as fast as I could. However, not as excited as I was when I saw this pop up on my Facebook news feed: At the end of the conference, which was also my birthday, she gave me her copy of the book and signed it.

She showed pictures of the Australian outback and some of the places that inspired Stolen. They were very informative, especially the one about setting. I attended every one of her lectures during the rest of the conference. She was so nice and took a picture with me: I didn’t realize it was her when I gushed “OMG I love that book! It’s one of my favorites!” She replied, “Thanks, I wrote it.” My heart nearly stopped and my jaw literally dropped. Slowly Gemma becomes to care for her captor and the land that she grew to love.Ī few years ago, I had the honor of meeting Christopher at the AWP conference in Boston. The kidnapper, Ty, takes her to the Australian outback, where they live off the land. The story is about a young girl named Gemma who is kidnapped when she was at the airport with her family. One of my first forays into stalker fiction was the book Stolen by Lucy Christopher. It might have to do with my obsession with The Phantom of the Opera, but who knows.

Anything where there’s a stalker and they’re obsessed with someone, I’m hooked. One of my favorite genres of fiction is stalker fiction.
