Hello! I'm Claire, author of The Gatsby Gambit. Thank you for visiting my website. Here you'll find a little about me and my novel, as well as ways to get in touch if you'd like to reach out.
I'm a writer living in Providence, Rhode Island, the lovely capital of America's smallest state! Before that, I lived in New York for many years, and briefly in Boston; before moving to the States I lived in the UK, and in Ireland, where I'm originally from (you might not hear my accent at first, but after a Guinness or two, you will!). Thanks to my mother's career in the Irish diplomatic service I also spent most of my teen years abroad - in Geneva, Switzerland, and Brussels, Belgium. It's been quite the adventure!
You'll often find me writing in Brown University's beautiful library or in the wonderful Providence Atheneum, or tapping away in my home office. When I'm not at work, you might find me exploring the histories of forgotten eras, getting lost in a vintage mystery novel, re-arranging my bookshelves, daydreaming over a cup of Early Grey, or exploring Rhode Island and its environs with my husband, an artist currently at the Rhode Island School of Design.
