Writing remains a passion and a source of enjoyment in her spare time. She has published four novels in the past 12 years, with a 5th about to launch.

Her first published novel, Dark Horse, received enthusiastic feedback, followed by Drowning in 2016, a humorous and thought-provoking story set against the backdrop of the environmental crisis. In 2020, she published a sequel, Staying on Track, revisiting the characters of Dark Horse and introducing the memorable Moody Muppet.

Her nostalgic 1980s novel What About Jayne? was published in 2023. She is now set to publish a new novel, Gordon’s Gift, featuring a male protagonist with an extraordinary ability. Chat to Claire to find out more!”
