Claire O'Dell—Living in an Alter­nate Future

Welcome

Hi. I’m Claire O’Dell, a writer of fantasy, science fiction, and alternate history. My new SF/Mystery series, The Janet Watson Chronicles, is a futuristic feminist take on Sherlock Holmes. My new epic fantasy series, Mage and Empire, takes place in the same setting as my award-winning River of Souls series, a world with magic and multiple lives. You can find more of my work listed in my bibliography.
