Synopsis

“Somewhere in me a scream is rising, but I contain it. Just.”

Diazepam-fogged Amy isn’t the best person to investigate an unexplained death, but she’s the only one Jay can get through to.

On the run from her troubled past and controlling older (ex) lover, she winds up on a Welsh eco farm where she starts to rebuild her life, grounded by the earth and healed by the salt air.

But it isn’t just her inner self that she manages to uncover. There are living ghosts at Môr Tawel, and they’re as loud as the waters crashing over the shingle on the beach.

Amy’s new life has just started, and she’s already running out of time.

About this title

About the Author

Clare grew up in the wilds of Somerset where she was fed a daily diet of ghost stories cooked up in her older sister's imagination. This fostered a love of storytelling long before she could read or write.She has lived most of her adult life in Nottingham, which features in both her novels.She began her career as a journalist, before working for many years in government communications. She then switched from spin-doctor to story spinner and embarked on an MA in Creative Writing, which she passed with distinction. Clare wrote her first novel Blue Tide Rising (2019) while on the course.Her second novel, Heartsound, was published in 2024 and became a no 1 best seller at various bookshops in the Midlands that same year.She runs Creative Writing workshops across Nottinghamshire and, for six years, facilitated Creative Writing sessions at the Maggie's Centre for people affected by cancer.Alongside her own creative work, she is a freelance writer and editor and has had articles published in Writing Magazine, LeftLion, The Ecologist, and other media.Clare's favourite writing time is first thing in the morning when she's still half in dreamland. She also writes in cafes and other public spaces, drawing inspiration from the unlimited supply of human interest she finds to observe.When not writing or working, she can be found heading off for weekends in Whitby - her spiritual home - for coastal walks and dips in the north sea. She runs a half-marathon once a decade.
