Scarlett St. Claire is a wordsmith. She lives to write young adult fantasy with a macabre flair, to discover what lies under the veneer of her nightmares, and to find adventure amongst the greatest friends a writer could have: her characters. Her mission is to elevate the imagination through the power of language, to rise above reality, and to tell a story that spellbinds into the witching hours of the night.
Scarlett is self-indulgent: she owns thirty-two shades of crimson lipstick, one cat, a .45 Desert Eagle handgun, and several Victorian gowns that bustle. She has a passion for great epic literature, long Japanese manga series, and anything by Neil Gaiman, Chris Wooding, or Markus Zusak. She is a discriminating and wide reader; though lately she's finding fewer and fewer titles worth her attention.
Scarlett spent seven years working for various Barnes & Noble locations throughout the West Coast; nowadays, she prefers the comforts of a library. And while San Francisco is her favorite haunt, her current location is unknown.
