Personally, I Blame My Fairy Godmother by Claudia Carroll

As such, much of what she wrote she would shove into a drawer never to be looked at again.

However, she was just like most people and believed that book deals were something that only other people got. She remembers that she used to scribble down stories and later graduated to embarrassing rough drafts for novels. Similar to many other authors, Claudia Carroll has been writing for as long as she can remember. From shooting the film, she thought that the story of a family down on their luck that would have to rent their house to an LA film crew would make for a great story. They were such interesting characters and the fact that the film was shot in an ancient home that was coming to pieces made it even more interesting. The Leslie family was full of eccentric characters that Carroll thought it would be more interesting to point the cameras at them instead. As a struggling and young actor, she had been lucky enough to land a role in a movie that was shot in County Monaghan in the Castle Leslie that happened to be the director’s ancestral home. It took her more than a year to write her debut novel “He Loves Me Not, He Loves Me,” even though she had the idea at the back of her mind for more than fifteen years. Since then, she has been working as an actress in Ireland and is best known for her role in Fair City where she was cast as Nicola Prendergast. Her fourth novel has also been optioned and is about to be made into a screenplay by Robin Swicord, an Academy Award nominee.Ĭarroll was born in Dublin and went to University College Dublin, the Gaiety School of Acting, and the College of Music. “Remind Me Again Why I Need A Man” the third novel that she published was also a very popular work that would later be optioned and is to be made into a TV series on Fox TV. The novel would get much critical acclaim when it was published and went on to become a bestselling title. Carroll wrote her debut novel “He Loves Me Not, He Loves Me”in 2004.

For more than a dozen years, she starred in Ireland’s answer to “Eastenders” that was named “Fair City.” She loves to describe her character on the show as a terrible old cow that was hated by everyone.

She has lived in Dublin where she spent much of her time working as a TV actress and in theatre before she decided to become a full-time author. Claudia Carroll is a fiction and romance author from Dublin Ireland that is best known for the “Primrose Square” series of novels.
