In 2013 Claire Baldry retired from her career as a headteacher, English advisor and education consultant, and reinvented herself as a writer, blogger and performance poet. Now in her late 60s, Claire has published six booklets of light-hearted poetry and two novels, ‘Different Genes’ and ‘My Daughter’s Wedding’.
She has a regular schedule of public speaking engagements where she reads excerpts from her work and talks with humour about her transformation from headteacher to writer. Claire is the founder of the popular website Autumn Chickens and hopes her books will especially appeal to readers in mid-life and beyond, but also give an insight to adult readers of all ages into the lives and ambitions of the baby boom generation.
