Where Claire will be joined by actress Kirsty Strain for a Q&A. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/meet-the-author-cs-duffy-tickets-868880824937 Claire S Duffy CS Duffy is an indie author from Glasgow, Scotland. She was a screenwriter for over a decade until she caught herself cycling past a production company giving it the finger and decided she didn’t like who the film industry was turning her into. She quit, got a job at a day-care in Stockholm, Sweden, and wrote her first novel while her class of one year olds napped. She has worked in an oil refinery in Ohio and was once almost arrested for carrying a full-sized oar on the London tube. When she’s not writing, she can be found trying (and failing) to learn trapeze, volunteering at her local hospital or nipping to Paris for the weekend because it’s the only place on earth worth online dating.
