Meet Claire
Hi, y’all!
My name is Claire Legrand. I’m 25 years old, I live in Texas (but will soon be living in New York City!), and I’m a writer. And a (ninja) librarian!*
I write primarily fantasy and science fiction. My debut novel, The Cavendish Home for Boys and Girls, a dark fairy tale for middle grade readers, is due out August 28, 2012, from Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers. My second middle grade novel, The October Year, is due out in August 2013, also from Simon & Schuster. For more on that, check out The Books! Also, I’m represented by the fantabulicious Diana Fox of Fox Literary.
I like lots of things! Some of those things are
- DVD commentary tracks
- awards show montages
- unicorns
- speaking like a British person (I am not British)
- interior design
- the caps lock button
- the sound of people walking on crunchy terrain
- colorful coffee mugs (although I do not drink coffee)
- all movies (except the stupid ones)
- film scores
- my friends (they are crazy)
- my family (they are also crazy)
- bright, shiny objects (I am part raccoon)
If you’re curious about my favorite books, check out my favorites shelf on Goodreads!
You can email me anytime at clairelegrandbooks [at] gmail [dot] com. You can also follow me on Twitter and Facebook, friend me on Goodreads, and follow my Tumblr, where I post pictures that inspire my writing.
*This means that if you are too loud, deface something, or otherwise misbehave in the library, I will dropkick you and then BEGONE before you even know what happened. Also, I wear capes.
Claire is a Texan living in New York City! She writes fantastical stories, and her daemon is an ocelot but sometimes a unicorn. When presented with the choice to high five or not to high five, she will always choose TO HIGH FIVE. Her first novel, THE CAVENDISH HOME FOR BOYS AND GIRLS, due out August 28, 2012 from
