About Clare Ashton
Clare Ashton's first novel, Pennance, was long-listed for the Polari Prize and After Mrs Hamilton is a Golden Crown Literary Society (Goldie) award winner. Her first foray into romantic comedy, That Certain Something, was a Goldie and Lambda Literary Award finalist. Clare Ashton grew up in Mid-Wales and having a brain stuck somewhere not particularly useful between the arts and science ended up studying History and Philosophy of Science at Cambridge University. After college, and still at a loss as to what to do with such a brain, she bimbled around the UK from London to Sheffield being everything from Little Chef waitress to software engineer. On the way she met a wife, had two children and recently came to a rest in the Midlands with the vocation of lesbian romance writer - nothing like the career they suggested back at school.
