Clara Kensie



Clara Kensie has always been fascinated by the dark side. As a teen, she read the darkest books she could findeverything by Stephen King, John Saul, and V.C. Andrewsand she watched horror movies alone at night, just for the thrill (this is the part when Claras parents would remind her that she was so scared after watching Poltergeist that she slept on their bedroom floor for two weeks). The complexities of family, friendship, and love have always intrigued Clara. Wanting to study human nature, in college she triple-majored in psychology, sociology, and social services, then threw in a criminal justice minor for good measure. She interned at a home for troubled teen girls. She visited prisons. Today Clara lives outside Chicago with her husband, their two kids, and their trouble-making cat, appropriately named The King of Chaos. Shes poured her obsession with the dark side into writing fictiontwisty mysteries and chilling thrillers for young adults, to be precise. Her books also explore dysfunctional families and teens who ultimately find strength within themselves, and they always have a breathtaking love story too.
