Kelly Clayton

Kelly Clayton is originally from Scotland but has lived in the Channel Island of Jersey for most of her life. An avid reader, Kelly has been writing for as long as she can remember but decided to get serious a few years back. The reason why is a story in itself and there is a TV clip that can be accessed through Kelly's Facebook page that explains what lay behind her motivation to get that first book published.

Kelly's first novel, Blood In The Sand, was published in 2015, Blood Ties came out in November 2016 and Blood On The Rock was released in October 2017. The three books are part of The Jack Le Claire Mystery series, mainly set in Jersey but venturing to other locations as well. They can be read as part of the series or as stand-alones.

Kelly also has a busy day job, working in the finance industry and travelling extensively. Although she loves what she does, Kelly adores the escapism of writing, of crafting stories and characters and putting them into and, hopefully, getting them out of peril.

Kelly, her husband and their three cats live in a home overlooking the sea.
