About me
CLAERIE KAVANAUGH has spent most of her life telling stories, but she never imagined herself writing romance. In fact, she used to think it should only be reserved for Hallmark movies. It wasn’t until college, when she discovered fanfiction, that she learned what romance was truly about: not just fluffy relationships and happily ever afters, but human connection, the desire to push one another to be better, and create hope that somewhere, somehow, everyone has someone.
When she’s not writing, she loves to travel and explore new cultures, helping other authors polish their works as freelance editor, and singing while doing so. Broadway musicals are her soul food, something her mother and sister know well. She constantly blasts the newest soundtrack through the halls of their Missouri home, much to the chagrin of her very sassy and spoiled cat.
MY LATEST PROJECT
In a world where magic is as much a weapon as it is a gift, Asa and her brother Caine are the last heirs to the fallen Lunar Kingdom. Forced into hiding after a brutal coup led by the power-hungry Malak, Asa now lives a life of secrecy, masquerading as the infamous Shadow, a thief feared throughout the land to make ends meet. Rumors of a relic tied to her family’s power draw her to plan her most risky heist yet.
But with Malak's forces closing in, Asa must navigate betrayal, loyalty, and her own heart to protect her brother from a fate worse than death.
