Claire Garber was born in 1978, the same year Olivia Newton-John told John Travolta he was the one that she wanted and Space Invaders were invented. She started writing books aged 26, after becoming obsessed by various French ski instructors. She created various novels dedicated to a French boy with blue eyes. It was some of her finest work. The publishing industry didn’t agree. Finally, after having her heart broken on her 30th birthday, she started writing Love is a Thief.
