About the author: Claire was born and raised in the northwest suburbs of the great windy city Chicago. She began writing in her junior year in high school in a desperate attempt to fend off a nasty case of insomnia that began from having strange, vivid dreams. Luckily, the writing trick worked and a decade later she is happily addicted to writing.
Claire attended both Southern Illinois University and College of DuPage where she graduated in 2008. During the day she is a sales assistant for a coffee roasting manufacturing company and in her spare moments she transforms into a proud writer. Claire lives with her darling, spoiled kitty Ms. Pip in Vernon Hills, Illinois.
