About this author

Claire Chilton is a geek-girl, high-school drop-out, who somehow managed to get an English degree in spite of never taking a single GCSE, although she once taught them! She's done every job on the planet at least once - except astronaut, and won an award for being 'most likely to trip over the red carpet and flash her arse at the cameras'.

She currently runs her own business online. And she is a writer of young adult fiction, which she affectionately calls her 'editing nightmares'.

She gets distracted easily by shiny things and is currently investigating the washing machine mystery of 'what happened to the other sock'.


The new children's book in the Whatever Became of the Squishies series - SHATTERED, just went on sale!


I love this bit when the reviews start trickling in and you find out if you did a good job. I'm like 90% certain that this book is amazingly fun to read. But you never know for sure. So I sit in eager anticipation waiting to see what Mr and Mrs General Public make of it.

Whatever Became of the Squishies (Science Fiction & Fantasy)
0 chapters   —   updated May 29, 2012 08:46pm
Description: SHE'S JUST INHERITED SUPERPOWERS, OF...ER, SARCASM? She’s wild, outspoken, trouble follows Carla Mainston wherever she goes. But what do you expect from a purple outcast living in a green colony? She's the last girl on the planet who should be inheriting special powers. As if that wasn’t bad enough, there's a deadly disease spreading faster than a dirty joke in the playground and when Carla’s brother Joe becomes infected, she has to find a cure before it’s too late. With the assistance of a muscle-bound scientist called Parklon and a dealer in illegal books called Bob, Carla discovers that superpowers don’t come without a price. With a murderer on her heels, Carla has to use every trick in the book. That’s if she doesn’t get arrested, or end up having the life sucked out of her by her new boyfriend. AUTHOR REVIEWS: "Wildly, bizarrely, brain-punchingly inventive!" - Bestselling author, Derek Landy. "...a wild ride!" Award winning author, T. Denise Robinson.

I loved this book. I knew from the first line that it was going to be an exciting read. The prose is beautiful, and the detail and setting really set the scene for the story.
