Clare Dugmore

With her determination, she never gives up, even when life gets really difficult. With her amazing stories that have supplied me with countless book boyfriends, and "OMFG what just happened?" twists galore!
I wouldn't be the writer or person I am today without her.
I love you! ❤

From a young woman with agrophobia who couldn't leave their bedroom, to the editor and community founder we know and love today. Karen inspires me in so many ways. With her huge heart, she wants to help as many authors as she can.

#IndieFestiveCheerAdvent DAY THREE - AN INDIE AUTHOR WHO INSPIRES YOU
You know her, you love her, it's Author Kyra Lennon/ Karen Sanders!
I've known Karen for 20 years, and she's always been there to support, encourage and uplift me, even when she was struggling herself.

My #SpotifyWrapped2025

And yes, I *did* edit the picture of Buck-Tick so Atsushi was still there! 💔

Also, can we discuss how my number one song was because of an ADHD hyperfixation... again?!

I need to stop listening to these random songs on a 72-play loop, or we get results like this! lol

Best £12 I ever spent!

One stolen kiss threatens to melt the years of distance between them, leaving Claire torn between the glittering career she built in the city and the love she thought she’d lost forever.

A heartwarming holiday romance about coming home, rediscovering love, and finding where you truly belong.

But when an emergency unexpectedly has her returning for a month before Christmas, she vows to keep things simple: spend time with family, soak in the Christmas cheer and avoid Jack Turner, the man she left behind.

About Home For the Holidays

One kiss could change everything this Christmas.
After ten years chasing success in the 'big smoke', Claire Dawson never thought she’d find herself back in the sleepy little town she once called home.
