Dead Game, my debut novel, launch date 16th Oct 2010, follows Lance Corporal Archie Fletcher as his plane plummets into the Persian Gulf during the Second Gulf War, but even his wild imagination could never have primed him for the adventure he must now undertake. With guardian angels, a cursed centaur and mythical saints, Archie must now take on a new mission and battle his way through a feral land called ‘Transit’, locked somewhere between Heaven and Earth. This fast paced fantasy will sweep you away to a parallel world where you will follow Archie’s fateful story full of courageous imagination - confirming that knowing deep within us all that the adventure of life must go on. Short-listed for the Brit Writers Awards Unpublished 2010 Dead Game is an extraordinary story of triumph over adversity; its message of hope will stay with you long after you have read the final page. For some young minds it is not enough to say ‘He’s gone to Heaven’, they need to know why, what happens next, how long will they be gone? Dead Game is Claire’s way of answering these poignant questions. Uplifting all those who have ever loved and lost, Dead Game strives to put forward one answer to death and at the same time teaches us; we are what we think; love never dies and that the human soul continues eternally. Claire is part way through completing her second novel, Dead Game’s sequel ‘WAITINGGAME’
