ABOUT CLAIRE

Claire O’Sullivan has spent most of her adult life in medicine—first as a Registered Nurse, then earning a Master’s in Medicine from Oregon Health & Sciences University to work as a nurse practitioner.

But her story doesn’t stop with stethoscopes and charts.

 

When she wasn’t in scrubs, Claire was out in the wild: dirt biking, off-roading, hiking, biking, rafting, practicing karate, or sports shooting. Her son, ever the teenage wit, often joked she was headed to “the home” for some maternal offense. (She’s still not sure he was entirely wrong.)

 

Pat—her husband and one of those mountain bikers who somehow never needed the ER (thank heavens). A multi-instrumentalist in a band, he’s managed to play just about every instrument known to man, much to Claire’s tone-deaf dismay.

 

Claire has also volunteered with Search & Rescue and trained extensively with the Property Crime Scene Unit—until the new sheriff shot the program down. (Don't get her started.)

 

These days, life revolves around a lively chicken farm, kids, and grandkids—her favorite kind of chaos.

She’s written for Faith & Family Magazine, and is the author of four novels: a standalone sci-fi, the Whiskey River Mysteries, and now a brand-new small-town crime series set just outside Portland, Oregon. The Grit & Grace series. Keep an eye peeled!

Claire lives in the country near Grants Pass, Southern Oregon, where she’s always up for connecting with fellow writers and readers—preferably over coffee, crime fiction, and chicken stories.
