Claire Dean, who also writes as Christy Yorke and Christy Cohen, is the author of 11 published novels, including Girlwood, Spirit Caller, and The Wishing Garden. She lives in Boise, Idaho with her husband, Robert, and Jenny, a Great Dane/Labrador/Jerk mix. The pseudonym Claire Dean is taken from the names of the author's two children, and only used when she writes the books of her heart. Nature, and the forest in particular, has always been a vital part of the author's life, from spending her summer vacations at her father's cabin in Prescott, Arizona, to the home she and her husband built in the woods outside of Boise, to the electricity-less and haunted Idaho cabin she's been fortunate enough to summer in, and continually renovate. The friendly cabin ghost is named Mr. Jackson. See less
