But her freedom is threatened by the nymphs that her mother sent to spy on her. Away from her overbearing mother, she thinks that she finally found something she is great at. She lives in New Athens and is in college where she is a senior student interning at a news agency as she waits to graduate with her degree in journalism. Clair introduces PersephonE, a goddess of spring that seems to have lost her powers. Her imagination took over from there and she proceeded to create a whole new world. She started to think about what the world would be like if the gods in Greek mythology were real beings that came down to Earth. As a college student, she had taken several literature classes on Roman and Greek literature such as “The Aeneid” and “The Orestes.” The story of “Hades & Persephone” is one that she always loved ever since she was a child and she thought why not put her own spin on it. She tapped into her love for Greek mythology to retell the classic story in this work. Clair’s most popular work has been “Touch of Darkness,” the first of the “Hades & Persephone” series of novels.

As for authors, some of her favorites include Sarah MacLean, Tessa Dare and Leigh Bardugo. As for her influences, she has cited “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy which is the inspiration for her settings in her Greek mythology retellings. She has since then gone on to publish several other bestselling works in different genres. As such it was not surprising that she made her debut with Greek retelling work “When Stars Come Out” that she published in 2018. St Clair has always been obsessed with the after life, Greek mythology, love stories and murder mysteries. She also has a masters in Information Services and Library Science from the same institution.

Clair went to the University of Oklahoma, where she graduated with an undergraduate degree in English Writing. Clair is a horror, paranormal, and young adult novelist from Oklahoma best known for the “Hades & Persephone” series of novels.
