Can i find these in bookstores?
Claire LaZebnik You can definitely find THINGS I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN and OVERCOMING AUTISM in bookstores. My other books are more hit or miss, since they're older. All on Amazon though. :)

I'm an aspiring writer, but I'm dealing with two things: I get discouraged every single day because 96% of manuscripts are rejected, and I haven't had an idea for years, literally. There's too many people wanting to be writers, and knowing there's so much competition just kills me a little every day. When I get motivated, immediatly something appears about the industry that kills it. Any tips on how to deal with this?
Claire LaZebnik I know this sounds corny, but the answer sort of has to come from inside you: think about why you want to be a writer. Do you love the act of writing? Then write every day and lose yourself in the act of writing without worrying about the future of what you write--when you have something you like, you can send it out and hope for the best. Do you want to be famous? That's definitely a longshot for any writer (I've been doing this for almost two decades and I'm still not famous.) It's going to be tough to stay motivated if that's your goal. But I'm guessing it's more that you love to read and to write so just do what you love to do and don't worry about whether or not it will sell. Just enjoy being creative. And don't read anything about the industry or about how many books are out there--it'll just make you crazy. This is about you and only you and being creative. Good luck!

Just finished 3 of the 4...will probably drift over to your adult works right after finishing The Trouble With Flirting...But are you planning to write any more of Austen adaptations?
Claire LaZebnik I think the four HarperTeen novels are it for my Austen phase. But my new YA novel is coming out in April and I'm really excited about it, so I hope you check it out! Thanks for reading me. :)

I REALLY LIKED "EPIC FAIL" AND "THE TROUBLE WITH FLIRTING" so I was really hoping that there will be sequels. So will there ?? Or even a book telling the guys side of the story and how they felt. I REALLY LOVED BOTH STORY and i wish there were MORE.
Claire LaZebnik No sequels planned but there are two more YA novels--Wrong About the Guy and The Last Best Kiss!

Are you planning on writing another adult woman's fiction again any time soon?
Claire LaZebnik I am! I'm finishing up a YA novel (I haven't sold this one yet, so I don't know if it will ever see the light of day, but I hope so) and then I feel like I want to go back to adult fiction. I'm also waiting to hear about another adult project that's being sent out now, but it makes me nervous to talk about it. :)
