edit data

I was born in Scotland but have lived most of my life in the beautiful Channel Island of Jersey. I live in a house by the sea with my husband and three cats. (I know!)

I have been writing for the last decade and Blood In The Sand is my first published novel. My second book, Blood Ties, was published at the end of November 2016.

I love walking on the beach and reading, reading, and reading.

Kelly Clayton's Blog: The Constant Reader

Whose (fictional) life do you want?

I’ve ridden across desert plains, survived in harsh dystopian societies, risen to the top in the boardroom, flounced about at Regency balls and rid the world of many a bad guy (or woman). As have you.
