Clare DoddAs a child, Clare was always reading, and she often spent her pocket money on books. Her passion for reading has never left her. After spending 25 years in primary teaching Clare decided to return to her stories to see if she could become a publishedauthor. This is the realisation of a dream she had aged eight, when Clare announced on the school playground that one day she would write a book.
