C F Dunn

CF Dunn is an award-winning novelist of history, mystery and suspense.

Claire spent her childhood on the move with her Forces family, drawing on an active imagination to create entertaining stories she loved to share. It was as a child that she discovered a fascination for the past that led to an abiding interest in the Wars of the Roses and a lifetime of research.

Never one to take the easy option, after taking a degree in Medieval History, she founded and ran a school for neurodiverse children and young people - students whom she describes as inspirational. Yet history was never far from her mind and, embarking on her writing career, she returned to her historical roots with Mortal Fire - the gold medal-winning first book in The Secret of the Journal series.

Currently writing The Tarnished Crown& series, Claire is back in the fifteenth-century and the Wars of the Roses with her acclaimed book Wheel of Fortune, where vibrant characters and meticulous research seamlessly weave threads of history to bring an authenticity to her richly-hued, suspenseful stories of intense love, loyalty and treachery.

Living in the South West of England, her love of history is equalled only by her delight in the natural world and the unruly sea by which she lives with her family assorted animals and overworked coffee machine in suitably rambling historic surroundings.
