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.

Clare Thompson liked Ann's review of The Jam Sandwich Detectives (Rachel Walker, #1): "I loved it! Such a fun listen! Who doesn’t love PTA scandals?

Lighthearted detectiveness, cake, friendships, laughter and a murder thrown in. What more do you need lol. It kept me guessing throughout. The group chat element was a great touch."

Clare Thompson liked Rosemond Cates's review of The Jam Sandwich Detectives (Rachel Walker, #1): "This was a cute cozy mystery set in a safe community with an active PTA. The characters were interesting, though with any tale of somewhat similar women it is necessary to exacerbate their differences to keep all of them straight for the reader.
