Clare Stevens

Clare Stevens grew up in the wilds of Somerset but has spent most of her adult life in Nottingham.

She began her career as a journalist for the Nottingham Post group, before working for several years in government communications. She recently made the switch from spin-doctor to story-spinner and her first novel, Blue Tide Rising, was published in March 2019 by Inspired Quill.

Clare is a Creative Writing tutor at the Maggie's Cancer Centre, Nottingham where she runs workshops for people affected by cancer.

When not writing, she can be found walking Max, her springer/pointer cross, heading off for weekends in Whitby or trying to learn piano. She runs a half-marathon once a decade.
