edit data

After studying Film at university, Clare worked as a production co-ordinator in the television industry for several years, where she organised crews and made cups of tea for presenters. She now co-ordinates two young children, organises school bags and occasionally gets to drink a hot cup of tea herself!

Clare is a Penguin WriteNow shortlistee, who lives in Northamptonshire with her husband, two children and far too much Lego. She writes for both adults and children, and tapping away at her keyboard helps to keep her anxiety in check so that she can deal with the chaos of mum life.

Really enjoyed reading this. Kept me interested. Some parts were uncomfortable but the characters were intriguing. I was expecting more of a twist at the end but I still enjoyed it.
