Claire Merle floundered with balancing her career ambitions and raising three children for a decade before realising multi-tasking was as frustrating as trying to itch a broken arm. Now she does one thing at a time. So when her youngest child is at nursery she writes. Sometimes she draws, (though her nine-year-old is probably better). She listens to Eckhart Tolle. She dabbles in Japanese design and growing vegetables from kitchen scraps. She invents other worlds and non-existent people who have far more audacious lives, and she lives her adventures through them. For now.
Her first two books were published by Faber and Faber in England, Russia, Australia, Canada and South Africa. Her recent action-packed fantasy, set in a compelling new world was #1 on Wattpad and has now become #1 bestseller on Amazon in Sword & Sorcery.
