ABOUT CLARE DUGMORE

Clare Dugmore is a queer, neurodivergent author of love stories for outsiders—tales where falling for someone else becomes the path to finding your true self.

She writes emotionally intense fiction where love bites back, monsters cry under moonlight, and sacred rage sets entire kingdoms aflame.

Whether she’s telling the story of an ostracised witch finding love in the arms of a shape-shifting alien prince, or a lonely singleton at Christmas who summons her perfect partner from the faerie realm, Clare’s writing always comes back to love—not despite the flaws, but because everyone deserves to find their someone.

Clare lives in the West Midlands, UK, with her supportive real-life vampire husband and their two gremlin children. When she’s not writing dangerously tender stories, she runs the Kindred Creativity Club ➤ —a gentle, magical space for artists, writers, and creative misfits.

Clare believes in love with claws and fangs—and that stories are spells we cast when the world forgets our magic.
