Clare is a British Christian author. She lives in a small town just outside Reading, England with her husband, whom she married in 1992, their two of their three grown up children, unfriendly mini-panther, aka Tilly the cat and new addition Ty the dog. Clare is half English and half Welsh, which makes watching rugby interesting at times as it doesn’t matter who wins. Writing from an early childhood and encouraged by her teachers, she graduated from rewriting fairy stories through fan fiction to using her own original characters and enjoys writing an eclectic mix of romance, crime fiction and children's stories. When she's not writing, she can be found reading, crocheting or doing the many piles of laundry the occupants of her house manage to make. Her books are based in the UK, with a couple of exceptions, thus, although the spelling may be American in some of them, the books contain British language and terminology and the more recent ones are written in UK English. The first draft of every novel is hand written. She has been a Christian for more than half her life. She goes to Carey Baptist where she is one of four registrars.

It's always such a pleasure to visit with old friends in familiar places. Fairytale of Headley Cross brings us back in touch with Pastor Jack, and Nate and the familiarity of Headley Cross. Not that you need to know them. This story stands alone very well.
So toss in a man with a history...a serious history that just doesn't fit in with people's expectations of a pastor, and as people see and interpret things unfairly. This story is a great reflection of a typical church including the staunch, cold hearted elders down to loving children and those who care for them.
This is a wonderful romance, and a wonderful reminder of the God who can do anything! Well done!!!
