edit data

Clarissa has always lived more in the world of daydream and fiction than in reality. In her writing she explores purpose and belonging across worlds. Having never found an actual portal to faeryland, she creates her own fantastical worlds where dragons, fae and other magical creatures rule.

She now lives in the Netherlands with her family, where she writes as much as they will let her. When not reading or writing, she drinks too much tea and has a burgeoning obsession with Bundt cakes.

Fae Bargains - available now!

I have reorganised my newsletter and made Fae bargains available for my subscribers as a free download. Fae Bargains is the prequel to the Lost Princess of Starlight series, and it was available as part of the Realms of Fae and Shadow anthology at the end of last year. That was a time-limited anthology, so as it is no longer for sale I can make my story available. So, if you are interested in read Read more of this blog post »

A long time waiting for them to do the thing they were set up to do at the end of the last book. Heavy philiosophy and ethics but very little action

This book really drew me in and I had to get to the end and find out how they saved everyone. The story about accepting and moving through emotions, rather than ignoring them, was well done and poignant.

Clarissa’s Quotes

“Well, don't bother waiting around to take me home." I walk away, ready to end this conversation. That's twice now he's made my heart race. It's unsettling”

“It is all right, Camilla Frost,” he said. “I know of the danger now. I am better able to protect—” His voice cracked. “All of those I love.”

“His heart danced upon her movements like a cork upon a tide. He heard what her eyes said to him from beneath their cowl and knew that in some dim past, whether in life or revery, he had heard their tale before.”
