Hi Claire, I am a HUGE fan!! I stared reading your Ava Delaney series last week and i just finished it today, along with The Lost Souls Series. I have a major question for you! i was wondering if you were going to write a fourth book to the Lost souls series, because after i finished the last chapter, i couldn't wait to see a fourth; are you going to? Please let me know! Thank you!

Claire Farrell Hi, Isabelle. Thanks for reading. :)

I'm pretty sure there will be a fourth story, but there may be other stories first. I'll know more later in the year, but I've been building up to a "Big Bad" type of story more like the original Ava series, so I want to clear that up first (perhaps with a new Ava series) before returning to the more standalone type stories of Lost Souls. I'll be posting monthly on my blog with updates, so check that out if you're interested.

But I can say that if/when I return to Lost Souls, the stories will be less frequent - no more than one a year - so I can focus on new stories and characters. I'm not ready to give up Ava and her world just yet though. :)(less)

Hi Claire! I was just wondering if you could offer me some advice please? I am an aspiring writer and have a few ideas, one in particular that will not leave my mind. How did you start writing your books? I honestly do not know where to begin on my own writing and am afraid that I will not have enough time once I go back to school in September due to my studies (in my final year of secondary school). Thanks, Amy x

Claire Farrell Good luck in school, first of all.

I used to write bits and pieces. I'd wake up in the night with an idea and write until I couldn't keep going. But the first time I actually finished a book was during NaNoWriMo, and that helped me figure out how to sit down and throw all of my spare time into finishing a book. An idea that won't go away is a good sign, and all it takes is sitting down and getting words on the page. It doesn't matter if you start at the beginning or write random scenes, it just takes making the time to get something out. Anyone with an idea can write a book - but you have to make writing a priority or even a regular habit.

If you want to use a book to help you plan a story, I know a lot of people recommend Holly Lisle's Plot Clinic, and I've tried it myself and think it's a useful tool, particularly if you're unsure where the story is going.

Enjoy your holidays. :)(less)

A Final Farewell

Sorry for the overly-dramatic title, (couldn’t help myself) but I’ve been working on some stuff all week, and I’m finally ready to, well, say goodbye, I suppose. I am hanging up my pen. This decision hasn’t come lightly, but a choice had to be made, and while I am upset, I know it’s necessary.

For well over seven years, I’ve had the most amazing, life-changing opportunity, mostly thanks to the comp

“I’d swap with Amelia if I was you. So she doesn’t have to sit beside him.”
“What about you?”
“Who would you rather he sat next to, me or your sister? Move.”
“I’ve a better idea,” he whispered back. “How about I swap with you and make out like I have to tel Aaron something, and then you could cal Amelia over to you like you have something important to tel her. The lights wil go out, and Amelia won’t bother switching back.”
“Evans, that is a fabulous idea.”
“Rivers, I know.”
