Claire Nixon

Claire Nixon, born on the unluckiest day of September 1973, is from the North-East of England. She is the mother of five children, six if you include her husband.

She started creating short stories and poetry a few years ago, inspired by her regular reading. Now she spends some of her spare time writing in many different genres. She's currently a full time student through Open University aiming for a BA in Literature.

She has had several short stories published in magazines, e-zines, audio and anthologies. In December 2004, she published her children’s tale ‘Tabitha and Pirate Jim’ as a present for her eldest child, Tabitha. Tabitha and Pirate Jim is now published as an audio tale with Audio Stories For Kids.

In between writing and studying, she is the founder and editor of Twisted Tongue magazine, a magazine that pushes the boundaries.
