“It was like a curse. He was her antidote. She was his poison.”
Claire Merle, The Glimpse

“There were two choices in life. Survive or succumb. And most people weren’t even conscious of the path they chose. Because they chose for all the wrong reasons. Love, principles, dreams, desire. The world hadn’t changed. It had always been survival of the fittest.”
Claire Merle

“The Board would like to come back and see you tomorrow, Ariana,' she mimicked. 'Any more questions?'
'Yes,' she answered in the Warden's Irish accent, 'I'd just like to know why I'm such an arsehole.”
Claire Merle, The Glimpse

Claire Merle Hi Vicki, sorry only saw this comment today and no idea how to reply directly! (So not sure you'll get this....?) Anyway, thanks for your interest in The Glimpse. Still not sure when it will be available for the Nook. Will write a post or something when it is!!


Claire Merle Hi Sammy, thanks so much for getting in touch, and so please you loved THE GLIMPSE. The second and final part in The Glimspe Duet will be out next June.

Thanks!

Vicki Hi Claire! Thanks for being my friend. I am DYING to read your book! Do you know when it will be released in the States for the Nook?!


Raihana Thanks for the friend request Claire! :)
I can't wait to read glimpse!<3


Claire Merle Hi Donna, yes exactly! Not many of us around -- UK bloggers or authors!! That's why I was so excited to find your blog. I love having a slightly more British perspective and I was just taking a look at some of your reviews. I see you love Jen Armentout's Half-Blood and Obsidian. She's such a fantastic writer -- we've been online friends from back b4 we were both published. It's so great seeing her get the attention she deserves! Glad you like the sound of my book. I'll ask my publisher to put you on the list for ARCs!!

Donna Hey Claire, thanks for the request. It's always great to meet another people from the UK...there aren't that many of us around. Look forward to chatting with you.
Your book sounds awesome btw!!!
Donna
