Maine author’s lobstering novel The Ghost Trap acquired by Khanlarian Entertainment
 
 
Los Angeles-based Khanlarian Entertainment has optioned K. Stephens’s 2009 novel, The Ghost Trap. Stephens, a freelance writer in Maine, will be an executive producer on the project, along with James Khanlarian and Peter A. Couture for Khanlarian Entertainment.
 
Stephens’s award-winning debut novel tells the story of Jamie Eugley, a young lobsterman struggling with the grinding responsibilities of a head-injured fiancée and a mounting trap war. Published by Leapfrog Press, The Ghost Trap is a piercingly accurate depiction of life in a small Maine lobstering community. Its publication happened to coincide with a real-life Maine trap war in 2009 that made national headlines.
 
The Ghost Trap will be produced by Khanlarian Entertainment, an independent film company helmed by writer/producer James Khanlarian and producer Peter A. Couture. Kay Stephens was signed on to adapt the novel into a screenplay.
