Claire Daniels
Claire Daniels was born into a house of books and
stories. Her mother was a writer, her father a story-
teller, and novels were everywhere. She went to college, majoring in psychology,
and there read about the people she would be writing as
characters years later. When she graduated from college, Claire went to work in
a mental hospital, and eventually went on to law school.
She passed the bar and entered the practice of law. For a
short time Claire worked for a criminal law firm. It was
during her law practice that she began to write short
stories, both science fiction and mystery. And began to
gather rejection slips. Eventually Claire left her law practice and started a
greeting card company called “Jest Cards.” A few
entrepreneurial attempts later, bolstered by her
bookkeeping “day job” and her first years of tai chi
training, she created Kate Jasper, who owned a gag gift
company called “Jest Gifts” and practiced tai chi. Claire’s
own life became a story. Only Kate Jasper stumbled over
dead bodies. Twelve Kate Jaspers later, Claire was still reading
mysteries, science fiction, and mysticism, and had begun
writing about Cally Lazar, a recovering attorney who
does “cane-fu” and has an energetic healing practice. Alternative healer Cally Lazar’s sensory skills help
her
soothe her clients’ auras. But once in a while, what she
finds will make her jump out of her skin. The Karma Crime
mysteries are:
“A holistic prescription for fun. Enjoyable side effects
include laughter.”
––Lynne Murray
“A delight.”
––Jane Dean of Murder Most Cozy
“Original, innovative, and unique.”
––Janet A. Rudolph, editor of Mystery Readers
