🕯️ Welcome to

My Velvet Lair

I’m Clare Dugmore, a queer, neurodivergent author conjuring love stories for outsiders—tales where monsters cry, witches rise, and love bites back.

I write for those who feel too much and belong nowhere, because sometimes falling in love is how we remember who we really are.

Here, passion meets rebellion, and every story bleeds a little magic.
