Clarissa has always lived more in the world of daydream and fiction than in reality. In her writing she explores purpose and belonging across worlds. Having never found an actual portal to faeryland, she creates her own fantastical worlds where dragons, fae and other magical creatures rule.

Fae Bargains is the prequel to the Lost Princess of Starlight series, and it was available as part of the Realms of Fae and Shadow anthology at the end of last year. That was a time-limited anthology, so as it is no longer for sale I can make my story available. So, if you are interested in read Read more of this blog post »
