When tragedy strikes, music becomes their lifeline.
After a devastating explosion takes the lives of her parents, Britney is left battling crippling social anxiety—until Chris, her late father’s best friend, steps in to raise her and her twin sister, Brie.
Britney can barely face the outside world, but when she sings, her voice holds a power that heals her soul. Through music, love, and quiet strength, the three of them begin to rebuild a life worth living.
The Britney McClearn Story is a moving debut about found family, mental health, and the unbreakable bonds that form when love shows up exactly when you need it most.
Hi, I’m Chris Haines — author, songwriter, and creator of
The Britney McClearn Story trilogy. My work blends heartfelt storytelling with original music, bringing characters and emotions to life in a way that feels real, because so much
of it is real.
The Britney McClearn series is more than just words on
a page — each book is woven with original songs,
professionally recorded and mastered, that you can
listen to as you read. It’s an immersive experience,
a world where fiction and music meet.
Whether you’ve come here as a reader, a music lover,
or someone who simply enjoys a good story, I invite you to explore. Visit Britney’s official site to hear her songs, learn about my creative journey, or get in touch to say hello.
Welcome — and thank you for being part of the story.
I'm a UK-based author, songwriter, and creator of The Britney McClearn Story — a contemporary novel series that blends heartfelt storytelling with an original, in-character soundtrack. Each book is paired with songs I have written and produced, professionally recorded, mastered, and released so readers can listen as they turn the page.
Drawing from personal experiences, I have poured real emotions into Britney and Brie’s world — love, resilience, second chances — crafting fiction that feels as lived-in as memory. The music extends that honesty, turning scenes into melodies and feelings into choruses.
Through GTSI Records, I will release the series’ music, I am credited as the company’s songwriter, overseeing the creative process from lyric to master. I'm a registered member of PPL/PRS as a songwriter. Every track is registered and carries unique ISRC/ISWC codes, making the soundtrack as real and protected as the stories themselves.
Whether writing chapters in my home studio or shaping songs late into the night, I treat both mediums with the same care: find the heart, tell it true, and let it resonate. The Britney McClearn Story is just the beginning of an immersive world where fiction and music meet.
