About the Author
Clare is a British author. She lives in a small town just outside Reading, England with her husband, whom she married in 1992, their three children, and unfriendly mini-panther, aka Tilly the black cat. They have recently been joined by Hedwig and Sirius the guinea pigs. Clare is half English and half Welsh, which makes watching rugby interesting at times as it doesn’t matter who wins.
Writing from an early childhood and encouraged by her teachers, she graduated from rewriting fairy stories through fan fiction to using her own original characters and enjoys writing an eclectic mix of romance, crime fiction and children's stories. When she's not writing, she can be found reading, crocheting or doing the many piles of laundry the occupants of her house manage to make.
Her books are based in the UK, with a couple of exceptions, thus, although the spelling may be American in some of them, the books contain British language and terminology and the more recent ones are written in UK English.
The first draft of every novel is hand written.
She has been a Christian for more than half her life. She goes to Carey Baptist where she is one of four registrars.

Soul to Keep, book #2
About the Book
As the body count increases and more
paintings are recovered, DC Zander Ellery and his partner DC Isabel York are
under increasing pressure to catch the killer the press have dubbed the Prayer
Slayer.
A few tenuous links are all they have between the deaths of three young, pretty
women. The new Chief Superintendent is only adding to the pressure and seems to
be picking on Isabel more than any other officer.
Torn between his urge to protect his partner and his need to solve the case,
Zander sits his sergeant's exams, hoping once they are over, he won't be so
distracted. But a rocky relationship with his girlfriend and one more murder
only adds to his stress.
My review:
In the continuing serial crime thriller by
Clare Revell, Headley Cross is still under attack by a murderer who seems to be
choosing his victims based on a prayer and paintings that represent famous
scripture. Since the media got ahold of the case, they’ve named the murderer
the Prayer Slayer, giving attention the police don’t want him to have. But they’ve
held back certain pieces of information, especially clues that Isabel is
uncovering.
There’s more to life for detectives Zander and Isabel than solving this murder, and when life begins to get in the way; namely Isabel’s past abusive boyfriend and current living situation, and Zander’s girlfriend justifiably demanding his time, the line between work and home begins to blur. A new voice is added to the mix of misogynist police folk, and Isabel isn’t sure she can continue to work well when few people respect any progress she seems to make.
The partners have determined the pattern the killer follows, but no matter how fast they work, the killer dodges their every move. In a strange twist, the deeper Zander delves into the case, the more unhinged he begins to sound. Told in alternating viewpoints from Zander to Isabel, the tension mounts. The story continues in book three.
