<p>Claire Luana grew up in Edmonds, Washington, reading everything she could get her hands on and writing every chance she could get. Eventually, adulthood won out and she turned her writing talents to more scholarly pursuits, graduating from University of Washington School of Law and going to work as a commercial litigation attorney at a mid-sized law firm.</p><p>While continuing to practice law, Claire decided to return to her roots and try her hand once again at creative writing. Her first novel, <em>Moonburner</em>, was published in 2016 with Soul Fire Press, an imprint of Christopher Matthews Publishing. She is currently working on the sequel,<em>Sunburner</em>. In her (little) remaining spare time, she loves to hike, travel, run, play with her two dogs, and of course, fall into a good book.</p>
