Claire Gillies is a Scottish author of heartfelt, uplifting fiction filled with warmth, wit, and a touch of mischief.
A Highlander born and raised, she now lives by the sea with her family, between forest and shore, where she drinks too much coffee and dreams up new stories of love, friendship, and hope.

When she’s not writing, Claire’s likely swimming in the sea, wandering the woods, or making flower wreaths for her front door. She loves history, costume dramas, and bold colour — and she’s quietly opinionated about cake (moist or nothing!).

💌 Find her online at www.clairegillies.com and follow for updates, book news, and glimpses of her Highland life. ...more
