Title: Claire Daly: Reluctant Soul Saver
Author: Michele Brouder
Publication Date:
September 20, 2015
Genre: YA,
Paranormal Romance
When seventeen year-old librarian wannabe Claire Daly is
dragged kicking, screaming and cursing from everything she loves—her mam, her
cozy Irish village and the dreamy boy next door—to take up arms in the battle
of good versus evil, she learns the hard way that sometimes you don’t get to
choose your own destiny, destiny chooses you.
Claire’s life plan is simple: head off to university to get
her degree in library studies, summon up the courage to tell her best friend
Chas that she loves him and live happily ever after. She never once entertained
the idea that she might possess divine powers, that she might be predestined to
battle Hell’s demons, or, to complicate matters further, that another love of
many lives past might turn up on her doorstep. But life doesn’t always go as
planned, and when a co-worker is viciously attacked by a demon and her own
family threatened, Claire must face the truth: she is called to a higher
purpose and has no choice but to answer. Claire sets aside her dreams and
begins learning how to deal with the Unholy once and for all. Armed with only a
crash course in soul saving and her wits, she gears up for the ultimate show
down in Hell. But will it be enough?

Here’s the Thing About Destiny
(a
guest appearance by Claire)
Here's
the thing about destiny: she's a right bitch.
My
destiny—when my life was my own— involved Chas and books, a
lovely romantic notion. Have you seen Chas? I mean, flippin' hell, he
is fit! He's tall and he's got this curly, auburn hair and he wears
these little gold, wire-rimmed glasses, his arms are rock hard solid
and....oh well, you get the idea. Now it appears, Destiny has another
itinerary for me. It's like going on a cruise and expecting to sit
around the pool working on your tan and sipping tropical drinks with
little umbrellas in them and then being told that no, you need to
swim in shark infested waters— while you're having your period.
Rough. Instead of going off to college to become a librarian—my
dream job, I am now expected to fight the Army of the Damned, The
Unholy. How they picked me is beyond me, someone definitely fell down
on the job. Do I look like a leader? I certainly don't feel like one.
Have they seen me? I'm a freckled six-footer with major issues with
my hair (See the book to see what the hell actually happened) Things
with my hair took a definite turn for the worse. Besides, how can you
fight something that you can barely see half the time? And to
complicate things further, Destiny throws Ari into my life. Let me
tell you, a British fella of Greek heritage can really wind you up.
Have you seen him? Same height as me with this gorgeous sable hair
that makes you want to play with it. I, mean seriously, his hair
makes me want to throw the books out the window and pick up a
hairdryer and brush. This whole destiny thing isn't straightforward
and that makes it all the more maddening. The God I didn't believe in
not only exists but is laughing his ass off right now as we speak.
I'm 18 now and I thought for sure I'd be spending my days with books
and my nights being all loved up with Chas. Instead, I'm picked to
deal with things that are the stuff of nightmares. I see both a
psychiatrist and a padded cell in my future. I mean, really, flippin'
hell! The struggle is real.

About the Author
I was born in western New York, the oldest of 5. I've loved
reading since I was very little. From the age of 9, I've wanted to be a writer.
In high school, I wrote a lot of angst-ridden civil war dramas ala Gone With
The Wind, knowing more about the Battle of the Bull Run than a normal teenager
should know. I dabbled in writing after that but didn't get serious about it
until 2006, when I decided that this was what I wanted to do for the rest of my
life.
I've had many interesting jobs but my passion has always
been writing.
I lived in Ireland from 2006-2013 with my husband and 2
boys. We moved back to the US and settled in Florida briefly (2 years) before
returning back to Ireland in August 2015.
