Claire Sheldon lives in Nottingham with her family and their dog Podrick.
Despite living with Multiple Sclerosis, Claire continues writing compelling crime thrillers and has built a loyal readership through the Detective Jen Garner series.
Her inspiration comes from a lifelong love of crime dramas including The Bill, Morse, A Touch of Frost, Midsomer Murders and Spooks.
When she isn't writing, Claire enjoys reading crime fiction, listening to music and spending time with family.
Want to know how the world is going to end? Then this is the book for you. At times it feels like a blockbuster movie, except it's frighteningly realistic.
Music plays a huge role in Claire's writing process, with many references hidden throughout the Detective Jen Garner books.
There is a whole playlist that relates to the first two books called The Lisa Carter Files , which includes:
A Story About a Girl by Our Lady Peace and Save as Draft by Katy Perry both relate to my writing journey.
The hamster Lisa and Chloe used to own was named after Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington. I spent ages making sure the date of Chester's death lined up with their pet hamster's life.
The song Flavour of the Week by American Hi-Fi is referenced in the story.
Plenty of Taylor Swift references appear throughout this book.
When Hannah tells Chris that Chloe has turned up on Jen's doorstep and says "But she's dead", it references Look What You Made Me Do by Taylor Swift.
All the street names during Jen and Chloe's undercover surveillance are song titles from Taylor Swift's Evermore and Folklore albums.
When Hannah realises that her night with Chris is not going to be full of romance, she thinks, "I only brought this dress so you could take it off."
This is a reference to Dress by Taylor Swift.
