These stories are where I play a little and explore different ideas and topics without committing to a full novel. Many of them could be expanded further in the future, so if there is one you particularly like, then let me know! Some of these are tonally darker than my other published fiction, although there is still no graphic violence, or explicit scenes of any kind. There is a kiss or two, and things end hopefully. I am not a grimdark writer in any way, shape or form!
Clarissa has always lived more in the world of daydream and fiction than in reality. In her writing she explores purpose and belonging across worlds. Having never found an actual portal to faeryland, she creates her own fantastical worlds where dragons, fae and other magical creatures rule.
She now lives in the Netherlands with her family, where she writes as much as they will let her. When not reading or writing, she drinks too much tea and has a burgeoning obsession with Bundt cakes. Find out more about her at clarissagosling.com
