HOW IT'S GOING

Claire's short fiction has been featured in Alaska Quarterly, Hayden’s Ferry, North American Review, and many others.

Claire lives with their family in Boulder Creek, California.
Online you can find me on Goodreads, where I review contemporary fiction enthusiastically (or sometimes cantankerously) while in the guise of my fashion-conscious alter-ego, 'lark benobi,' here.
