Harry Clare wrote her first novel, about a runaway cat, at the age of 8. Her second, a coming-of-age story about a musician on tour with an opera company, took a little longer to cook. Maybe you'd like to read it. Her third, set in Sydney and, strangely enough, involving a runaway dog, is under consideration at those publishy places. Her fourth is to be a murder mystery but it's very much Work In Progress.
In real life -- who wants real? I want MAGIC! - Harry Clare is a professional wordsmith.
