After this there'll be a spin off young adult series called "R.A.M.A" (Royal Academy of Magical Arts) which will contain teen/young adult themes allowing readers to grow up with the books. "Seven Nights of Snuggles" was Clare's first book. Her daughter Rose illustrated the entire book while she was only 10 years old. This reached number 2 on the Amazon best sellers list for children's fiction in 2017. Before Clare went down the author path, she enjoyed an extensive acting career spanning over 20 years in stage, television and film. Over this career one of her favourite companies to work with was the award-winning London theatre company, Blue Star Productions, with whom Clare played lead roles in children's shows including Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, Gretel in Hansel and Gretel, Belle in Beauty and the Beast and the title roles in Snow White and Sleeping Beauty, to name but a few. During these shows Clare built up an understanding of what children love, as she talked to audience members after performances during meet and greets and whilst signing their programmes. It was through her work with her own children's entertainment company that she discovered her love of writing stories as well as performing them. Other writing work includes a pantomime version of Snow White and a children's internet safety campaign series called "The Internet Wizard" both of which she wrote, produced and directed for her local radio station, "Erewash Sound," where she also hosted "The Sunday Breakfast Show" from 2019-2022. Today, when not writing, Clare can be found recording voice overs in her home recording studio, working under her stage name, Clare Cunliffe. Clients have included Craig Revel Horwood's production of "Strictly Ballroom the Musical", a celebrity led cast of Aladdin, and other well known brands, such as Holland & Barrett.
