Hi

Hi. I'm Claire, and I write for a living. I also sing my little lungs out when I'm not ill, and I sometimes write shitty songs for people and then make them pay for them.
I'll be writing random shit here, and putting stuff about what I'm currently writing. I'm much less weird since I quit caffeine and went on happy-pills.
So I'm writing away at the mo. I was writing a second novel, but distracted by an idea that I'd been kicking around for a while. I decided that it would have way too much padding as a novel, and that I needed some different characters to the ones I'd been working with. I mean, the strong woman who could toast you as soon as look at you isn't going to be kidnapped easily.
So I started writing it out, and another idea that I had sort of meshed with it. Below is the idea that I wrote out for it:

A reverend who has been using his faith to battle vampires has his hand forced when his girlfriend is taken and turned. He knows a spell that may save or kill her, and has no choice but to use it. The pair then travel the country, seeking those vampires who want to be saved and converting them. At last, they have a vast army of followers, and use the strength of numbers to persuade a brutal old vampiress – whom was once Cleopatra – to join them.

I figure that it'll either be quite shit, which I see no signs of so far, or somethign that I'm proud of. I encourage you to go see my store http://stores.lulu.com/gc_rock_my_sox It's got my novel, which I'm so pleased with, a couple of anthologies, and some short stories. At least look at the artwork on my novel, I think that Jet did an amazing job of it.
