C. L. Hunter

C.L. Hunter started writing poetry as a young girl. Her grandparents

owned newspapers in Arkansas: the McCrory Leader and the Augusta

Advocate. She’d send her poems to them. In return they’d print them in

the weekly newspaper and send the clippings back to her. That started

her love for writing.

She attended Arkansas State, studying business, but started a family

early having three children. Hunter considers herself a Floridian, having

lived in Saint Augustine since the age of seven. She loves the beach and

hot, humid weather—the hotter the better. She is an avid gardener, loving

every type of flower God created. You’ll find flowers in all her books. She

also loves boating and anything that has to do with the water. When

she’s not writing, she’s a design consultant for a custom homebuilder in

Jacksonville, Florida.
