About the Author

Moe Claire

is retired, living, reading, and writing in Downeast Maine. 

"The only thing I relish more than writing mysteries about this part of Maine is actually living here. My writing desk overlooks Frenchman Bay and Mount Desert Island. It is a view I've seen for many years and yet I never tire of it. Every day the water, sky, wind, and tides dance together in unique and often magical ways."

"I've been drawn to these shores as much by the people as by the beauty of the landscape. Mainers are independent, resilient, creative, droll in their humor, and proud of their history. I am fortunate to be able to call many of them friends."

Retired from a career in computer science, Moe Claire describes herself as a insatiable reader and a lifelong learner who is fascinated by all things outdoors and science (particularly geology). When not writing, she teaches Senior College courses, enjoys summer and winter in Acadia National Park, and volunteers for several local non-profits. She and her husband have explored Downeast Maine islands and harbors in their old Cape Dory cruiser but are currently between boats.
