Clare Rose has been a senior manager in the NHS for over 25 years and has always enjoyed a passion for writing children’s stories, poetry and illustration. Clare claims this passion started in her early childhood with a love of books and stories shared with her by her grandfather. Her creative flow led to many awards at school for her illustrated ‘short stories’. Over the years her passion grew and was shared with her children who always were hungry for a new, ‘out of the ordinary’ bedtime story, which led to the creation of many of her characters. As her career took over, her writing took a back seat. In recent times, however, she has again put pen to paper and started to recall and write down some of the fantastic tales that will have your children on the edge of their seats, waiting to hear what happens next.
