Bailee Madison was sort of killing two birds with one stone, so to speak, with her new book, “Losing Brave”, that she co-wrote with Stefne Miller.
Speaking with Miami New Times, the actress, producer and now author, opened up about how the concept was born and how the novel could be translated to film.
Bailee actually met Stefne while she was filming Annabelle Hooper and the Ghosts of Nantucket, and from there, they wrote the book over Skype conversations, phone calls, and emails.
“It centers on a girl named Peyton Brave and picks up a year after her sister’s disappearance,” Bailee explains of the novel. “It follows her through this state of turmoil and confusion and sadness and pain…. Within all this self-destruction, she finds out that two other girls have gone missing, so she now takes it upon herself to find the person responsible and find out what is happening to these girls.”
While writing, one thing Bailee and Stefne made sure of was that the book could be easily translated into a movie.
“Stefne and I were determined to make this book 100 percent viable for the screen,” she adds. “I loved the idea of writing a book and getting to later adapt it into a screenplay.”
“Losing Brave” will hit shelves on Tuesday, January 30th.
