Books and Film by Stefne

Three Books. One Film. One Journey.

Stories that meet you where you are, and help you find your way forward.

These books and film were written in different seasons of my life, but each one captures a piece of that journey:

  • Searching
  • Breaking
  • Rebuilding
  • And finally… waking up

If you’ve ever felt like you were meant for something more, but didn’t know where to start…

You’re in the right place.

FEATURED BOOK — I Just Woke Up

This is the most personal thing I’ve ever written.

It’s not just about BTS.
It’s about what happens when something finally breaks through the noise of your life and reminds you who you are.

Inside, I share:

  • My journey through burnout, identity loss, and rediscovery
  • The unexpected way BTS became a catalyst for change
  • What it really means to start living your life both fully and unapologetically

This book is for anyone who feels like they’ve been:

  • Living in the background of their own life
  • Playing roles instead of writing their own story
  • Ready for something more

FEATURED BOOK — Collision

What happens when two completely different worlds meet—and everything changes

Before everything you see now… there was this story.

Collision follows Cabot, a man with fame, success, and everything the world says should matter… and Kei, a young woman living out her faith in the middle of real-world hardship.

When their lives intersect, it becomes a collision of:

  • Identity and purpose
  • Truth and illusion
  • Faith and control

And nothing stays the same.

Originally written in 2009, I’m making this book available again because its message still matters.

Maybe now more than ever.

If you’ve ever experienced heartbreak, uncertainty, or the feeling that life didn’t go the way you planned—this story will stay with you.

FILM FEATURE

Annabelle Hooper and the Ghosts of Nantucket
A story of mystery, friendship, and finding your voice.

I was brought on to rewrite Annabelle Hooper and the Ghosts of Nantucket—originally written as a children’s adventure—and help shape it into something deeper:

A coming-of-age story about identity, courage, and stepping into who you’re meant to be.

Set on the island of Nantucket, the film follows Annabelle, a young mystery writer determined to prove herself, as she uncovers secrets, faces her fears, and learns that the greatest story she’ll ever write… is her own.

But beneath the adventure and ghost story is something more:

  • Finding your voice
  • Learning to trust yourself
  • Stepping out of the shadows and into your story

If those themes feel familiar… they should.

They’re woven into everything I create.
