Natasha Hassan asked Claire Legrand:

Hi Claire! I love Winterspell! Do you find it easier to write YA or middle-grade? Which of your books was the most enjoyable to write? Thank you so much!

Claire Legrand Hi Natasha! Man, sorry it took so long to answer this! I'm so glad you love Winterspell! Wahoo!

Both MG and YA have their challenges, but I think MG probably comes easier to me. I just really connect with the mind and voice of MG characters in this way that resonates all the way through me from head to soul to toes.

I think CAVENDISH was probably the most flat-out enjoyable to write simply because I was writing it 100% for me. I wasn't published yet, I didn't have anything under contract. I didn't have to worry about expectations or marketing or anything like that. I just wrote for the sake of writing! And that was a lot of fun--not to mention very freeing! :)

Thanks for the questions! Happy reading!
