Author, speaker, and strategist exploring ambition, mystery, reinvention, and the messy middle of becoming who you’re meant to be.

Meet Claire Lauer

I’ve wanted to be an author since third grade.

For yearssss, I wrote in the margins of real life like late at night, during nap times, and between client work and everyday responsibilities. Now, those stories are finally making their way into the world.

My work blends mystery, ambition, complicated relationships, and the quiet tension of people trying to reinvent themselves.

When I’m not writing, I’m usually speaking, helping entrepreneurs simplify their businesses, or revising a chapter for the hundredth (thousandth) time. Or, if I’m being honest, reading books to my kids.

Coming Soon!

Walden’s Gift

A cozy mystery about family dynamics, the messy middle, and unexpected gifts.

Launch and pre-order information coming soon!

Pub date: late August 2026.
