~About the Book~
Claire Daly: Reluctant Soul Saver by Michele Brouder
Publication Date: September 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?

~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.

~Author Guest Post~
I asked Claire to tell us a bit about what inspired her book. This is what she said:
There was so much 'superhero' fiction out there- Harry Potter, Percy Jackson series, Skulduggery Pleasant to name a few. I suppose I was reading all of these books because of my son, who wouldn't have particularly been drawn to a girl (yuck) series. I started thinking about how I wanted to read about a girl with her own set of superpowers and I wanted her to be Irish (after all, it is where I live, it was my way of saying thank you to my adopted homeland). I wanted to read something along those lines.
· the main theme of good vs. evil on all levels, the battle within ourselves to do what is right even if it means sacrificing something that is important to us and of course the ongoing of good vs. evil on a much bigger scale· faith - how faith can grow where there is none and how it can shine in a very dark hour
· loyalty - to the people we love: family & friends
· how you can make a connection with some people and it makes you feel like you've known them since before forever
· how humor can be it's own weapon: to protect yourself and to disarm other people
