Clare McCarthy is an educator, transgender advocate, author, and host of Transqat the Podcast. A former Latin teacher, she carries a black Sharpie (the 8” chisel-cut one) to correct grammatical errors on signs. It’s pedantic, but it makes her feel better about herself. A former competitive distance runner, she completed 13 marathons, including the original course (i.e., Marathon-to-Athens) in 2010.
She lives in Connecticut with four cats: Newt, The Lady Bethesda, Sun, and Nomi. To date, Clare is the only one of the housemates who hasn’t yakked on the carpet. Fingers crossed.

Spring is in full swing in lakefront Button Cove, and Jacqueline is embracing her new life—her friends, her new home, the crones down the street, and especially the detective with a hot-Viking vibe. It’s not half bad, considering the fact that she has the bickering literary characters of Mrs. Hudson (Sherlock’s landlady) and the dour, creepy housekeeper Mrs. Danvers from Rebecca “helping” her to run the bookshop, and her nemesis Egala Stone is opening her own store down the block.
