~ About Me ~

I am a creative writer and have recently retired from the financial world to concentrate on the dream of publishing a first novel, which follows a woman’s journey through relationships, domestic abuse inspiration and empowerment. Although a difficult topic to cover the story is heartwarming and inspiring.

I live in New York with my husband, step-daughter and a big fat cat, Freya.

Freya after her bath! lol

While my grown children live in England. My interests include writing, reading, the metaphysical, traveling, sitting around the fire pit with friends and good wine.

My fire pit :)

I have a huge bucket list of ‘stuff’ I want to do, the first on it is to publish my books, the first one is called ‘A Broken Ring’ was released in September.

A Broken Ring A Woman’s Journey from Abuse to Empowerment

  My husband told me that I should write about my life as it may help other people understand what abuse is like… or to let people who may be going through know they are not alone.

I  hope you come and follow me on my crazy journey :)

  8. Glad you liked my post An American Abroad – The Journey Continues. Hope you’re keeping dry. I live in Jersey so I know we’ve been rained on a lot lately.

  9. OK, Claire, we’re wearing one anothers’ sites out! (Good thing, mostly). One last Synch thing (must be National Synchronicity Day). I made another “real” connection with a fine blogger, Kerry Dwyer. I’m new to this, so if there is a link thing here I dont know how. She is a Brit teaching in France. Great gal, think y’all would like one another. Just go back to the Super Moon Pics you liked on my blog, she’s the Boots in between you and Cyranette’s likes. Connecting folks is a good thing, mostly.

  10. I’ve nominated you for the Versatile Blogger and Sunshine Award. You can visit my post to see what you need to do to complete the process. Congrats!

  11. Hi Claire, I just wanted to stop by and tell you that I nominated you for the Inspirational Blog award. Please don’t feel obligated to act on it, but please do come and see the photo I made for you. :-)

  12. kapow!! talk about synchronicity! im in the throes of putting together just such a book…havent really done much as yet…but its gonna be along the same lines….not really physical abuse but more mental torture…etc etc.
    sounds like a good read….best of luck! by the way, read about your kids living in the uk…well, im stuck in england as well at the moment!

  15. Claire, I don’t see a way to send you a message directly – I hope you find this. I just started as Assistant Editor with a faith-positive publishing company http://www.ggispublishing.com. I’m actively looking for projects, so if you know of anyone who might want to publish with us and have your humble author as a partner in editing and promoting her book, pass my info along, OK?
