Claire began writing in her early teens and maintained the hobby for twenty years before deciding to leap into the professional world. She remembers late nights spent with her best girlfriend, staying up and reading the zany stories she'd dreamt up. "God bless her for endless patience and the toleration required to listen to my, admittedly, terrible creations."

Writing isn't her only career, nor her only passion. When she's not sitting at the computer and ticking out plotlines, she raises and trains Oldenburg, Thoroughbred and Arabian horses. You'll see many of her favorite friends appearing in her contemporary novels. She's not Claire without some reference to horses, plain and simple.

Claire lives in Missouri with two small sons.
