My name’s Claire Huston (pronounced as in “Houston, we have a problem”).
I’ve written my first novel – an uplifting contemporary romance – and I’m getting reading to publish in April 2020. You can read more about that in Art and Soul.
I live in the Midlands, UK, with my husband and two children. I work as a Spanish-English translator and when I’m not struggling to write, I try to read, bake, and generally keep chaos at bay.
I’m a member of the Romantic Novelists’ Association New Writers’ Scheme.
If you’d like to get in touch, please use the contact form below or leave a message down in the comments. You can also find me on Twitter, Goodreads, Facebook and Pinterest.

Hey! So I reached 500 followers on my blog and I am putting together a shoutout post to celebrate! I want to feature your blog and I was hoping to get some info from you! If you’re on Instagram as a book account or on Goodreads can I get your username to feature those accounts too? And if you could possibly provide a book recommendation or two that would be awesome as well! Thanks so much!

Wow! Thank you very much 🙂
I have a Goodreads account, here: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/44435094-claire
Or if people would like to take a look at my blog page on facebook, it’s here: https://www.facebook.com/clairehustonauthor
So many books to recommend… 🙂
If you like fantasy, anything by V.E (Victoria) Schwab.
Everyone should read A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness, and The Martian by Andy Weir. Just because they’re both so terrific and I think appeal to everyone.
And, finally, if you’re looking for classics, you can’t go wrong with Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, or Great Expectations by Charles Dickens.
I’ll stop there or I’ll be here forever! 🙂
Thank you again! xx
