Clare Willis is a primary school teacher who has taught in England, Scotland, Australia and now Singapore. Away from the classroom, she loves to travel and spends the school holidays exploring new places or relaxing back home in Cornwall. Clare loves to write uplifting, feel-good fiction, filled with all her favourite ingredients: a touch of history, a dash of mystery, a bit of family drama, and a generous dose of romance. Her stories celebrate strong women, and centre on the relationships and challenges that define them. Clare lives in Singapore with her husband Chris and their labradoodle, Ruby.
