Find me on Facebook under the group title 'Claire Bloom Guyan Writes'

I'm 43 but with the mind of a 20 year old :o)

I'm not married, but do have 2 children who are both the sunshine in my life!

I have had my nose stuck in a book since before I could read.

I have wanted to be a writer since I learnt how to spell my own name.

My favourite childhood memory is off my Dad (who now resides in heaven) reading me Chitty chitty bang bang (I made him do this from the age of 5 right up until I was a teen cos he did the funniest voices for all the characters). My dad was a riot :o) xx

I don't drink alcohol, at all.

I've never done drugs! (Is pot a drug)?? if so then guilty ;O)

I adore romance.

I fantasize about chocolate

I choose smooth peanut butter over crunchy, green olives over black and I love the pickle slices you get in the burgers at MacDonalds

I like drinking tea more than coffee, wholemeal bread more than white, hate marmite (yeuck) and I watch way too many soaps.

My favourite band is Evanescence, I can't sing, have never done karaoke, don't smoke and dance like a epileptic chicken!

That said and done, I am told I'm fun, witty and have a sexy bum so...its all good! :o)
