About

Welcome to Fumbling with Fiction! My name is Chandler Craig and I’m thrilled you’re here. I’m 22 and write young adult fiction and graphic novels for teens. In the fall, I started law school at the University of Texas in Austin. Prior to that, I graduated early from the University of Pennsylvania, so that I could take time off to write full-time.  

If you’d like me to review a book, feel free to e-mail me at chandler1986@gmail.com so that we can discuss when and where to send review copies. I’ll be upfront about whether or not I have time to review the book and work out a date when the feature will appear.

5 Crucial Things You Need to Know About Me:

1. My boyfriend aside, Jay Leno tops my Sexiest Man in the World list. Not kidding.

2. I hate bananas and all forms of cake. That includes pancakes, cupcakes, muffins, and brownies. I’m nothing if not consistent.

3. I like to research serial killers, but then when I’m done, I’m scared out of my pants and can’t sleep for weeks.

4. If you touch my neck, I’ll punch your face. Ok, not really, but it does freak me out a lot and I will be very upset and make a weird hissing noise then turn bright red.

5. I never go anywhere without applying waterproof mascara.
