Clare Swatman


UK flag (b.1975)

Clare Swatman has been a writer and journalist for more years than she cares to remember. In that time she has written for many women's magazines including Take a Break, Bella and Best, and also edits a local magazine in her home town of Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire where she lives with her husband and two boys.

Clare was born in 1975 in Essex, but she doesn't think its rubbed off on her too much. She studied French and Spanish in Newcastle but can hardly speak a word these days, to her shame. She also completed a post-graduate magazine journalism course with PMA Media Training.

Her debut novel, BEFORE YOU GO. Shes currently working on her second novel, and enjoying every minute.

The Day Shelley Woodhouse Woke Up (2024)
Laura Pearson
"I absolutely adored The Day Shelley Woodhouse Woke Up. I loved the dual timeline, it kept me guessing throughout, and I loved the cast of characters around Shelley - the friends and family who helped her find herself and her lost memories again. It dealt with some sensitive issues with care, and I was completely lost in Shelley's world, desperate for her to rediscover her truth."

The Women Who Wouldn't Leave (2023)
Victoria Scott
"An uplifting novel about the power of community and the human spirit, filled with warm, believable characters."

There Is a Light That Never Goes Out (2023)
David M Barnett
"I truly loved it! It's a gorgeous, sweeping love story, with some fabulous quirks (including the talking seal!) which really makes you think about happiness, love and the potentially devastating impact loneliness can have on your life. It truly was a magical story with light, dark and all the shades in between. A triumph."
