Hi, i'm Clare (please note no i in it! people always seem to spell it claire)

I'm generally a fan of fantasy and adventure type stories, some of my favourite authors are Stephanie Meyer, Garth Nix, William Nicholson, Phillip Pullman, Eoin Colfer, Michelle Paver and Eva Ibbotson, i should probably read more adult fiction but i always seem to prefer easier reads (I have tried stuff like Cold Mountain and The Color Purple but i always grind to a halt after the first few pages)

however ive also enjoyed the literary delights we have to study for english gcse like Romeo and Juliet and An Inspector Calls, though that is probably either mainly or completely due to lovely Mrs Heg and her lollipops

i also love films, again in particular fantasy ones like Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean etc. some of my friends are gradually introducing me to anime, i will probably eventually get addicted like them :)

other stuff i enjoy is art, cooking yummy stuff, taking photos (see flickr.com, my pen name is clarecoggins, also caldecott_rose and aomera_claire have some amazing ones)

also as you can see there are two stories I haven't got very far with, im hoping to continue them once ive got a bit further with Hear My Cry for Freedom.

uum yeh think that's it, hope u enjoy my writing... :)
