I’ve only started reading this today on my phone, my hardcover copy is currently waiting in town for me to pick up. I’ve been waiting somewhat impatiently for Claire to publish this, I have her previous books, plus the Urban Magic Matthew Swift books she wrote as Kate Griffin, and also her YA books written under her real name of Catherine Webb. She’s a remarkable writer, and has the ability to take old ideas and concepts in SF and fantasy and give them a completely new spin.
Writing isn’t her day job, she’s a theatre lighting designer and technician, writing during those moments when actors and directors are having interminable discussions about the more subtle nuances of a script.
I’ve met her a couple of times at signings, she’s lovely, turns up wearing a plaid shirt, jeans and steel toecapped work boots.
And I’m not her publicist, I just love her books, and always grab any opportunity to support her writing.
