ⓘ About Clare Francis

Clare Francis is a mystery fiction novelist who has authored at least eight international bestsellers and three nonfiction works about her travels. Clare used to spend much of her summer holidays on the Isle of Wight which is where at only the age of nine she learned the art of sailing. Soon enough, she got interested in writing and thought that maybe she had it in her to one day become a fiction author. Not long after she came back from her voyage, she got a much-needed sponsorship in which she was to work with Even Bonha, in a Round Britain Race. In addition to her writing endeavors, she is a Fellow and MBE at University College London and a UMIST Honorary Fellow.
