-----------------------------------
As a contemporary musician and writer, Claire has a very good knowledge of a variety of subjects, but talks generally concentrate on creative writing in general, and on "Carol Corsa and Mickey Morgan" in particular.
The story as to how the idea came about for the first book and the stories which developed from the original idea, is a fascinating one. And as the stories are set in actual places in the UK, and are based closely on events which have often actually happened, the books as a whole contain a certain amount of educational value. So far, nine books have been written, of which the first one was published in October 1998.
The book "Carol Corsa and Mickey Morgan" and the subsequent stories which followed, were written with a number of things in mind;(a) to create stories with a factual basis,(b) to create a book which would appeal to both boys and girls, (c) to encourage children to learn that reading can be both informative and fun, and (d) to create a set of stories that emphasise the values of being kind and considerate, and that good manners are important.
