Claire Fayers was born and brought up in South Wales, an area of the country sadly deficient in dragons. Having studied English at Canterbury University, she built a successful career writing short stories for women's magazines until the lure of magic became too much and she wrote The Accidental Pirates: Voyage to Magical North. When she's not writing, you'll find her at her allotment. She has produced some magnificent onions but her dream of growing a straight carrot still eludes her.

Claire Fayers recommends
The Lovely Dark (2023)
Matthew Fox
"Wow. Just wow. If you love atmospheric, mysterious middle grade with a magical edge, poetic writing, and a nod to Greek myth, you have to read this."
Has Anyone Seen Archie Ebbs? (2022)
Simon Packham
"I was rooting for Archie Ebbs from the very first sentence. An important message wrapped up in humour, empathy, a mystery to solve and a touch of magic. Archie's story is a call to pay attention to people around us because we don't know what problems they're facing. And it's a reminder that, with the wrong luck, any of us could become an Archie Ebbs."
Ember and the Ice Dragons (2019)
Heather Fawcett
"A hugely inventive and enjoyable fantasy. Pure magic."
