Claire Eamer grew up in Saskatoon and attended the University of Saskatchewan, earning a Master's degree in English. She has lived in England, Germany, Saskatoon, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Edmonton, and Whitehorse. She currently lives on Gabriola Island, BC, and is a professional writer. Much of Claire's writing, for both adults and children, is related to popular science and history. She has also written a picture book that is neither scientific nor historical, and several short stories that fall mainly into the fantasy and science fiction genres.
