She wrote her first book, “The Brave Little Dinosaur,” at age four. Sales were abysmal, but it did very well in the “Readers Aged 25-30 Who Are Also the Author’s Parents” category.
Her work has been featured around the Web, including poetry and short fiction, and she's edited work for other authors in a number of genres (that number is two).
Claire lives in her native Ohio, while dreaming of moving north to live in writerly solitude among the trees and lakes and snow. When not scribbling or typing furiously in her office, she can usually be found at the library or poking about the local woods, terrifying hikers who aren't expecting her to pop out of the shrubbery, all sweaty and lost.
Quote: "I think it's the greatest, most terrifying thing in the world to be a writer. It's a crushing responsibility and a heady thrill, knowing you have these universes inside you that are relying solely on your ability to translate their existence to the page in order to live and breathe in the wider world. So, don't screw it up, or you'll be responsible for killing more people than bad community theater. No pressure."view less
