With help, support, inspiration – and a bit of nagging from her writing colleagues – the newest member of the Page a Day Writers Group, Claire Yezbak Fadden, has just finished her first novel, With a Touch.
A freelance writer and editor for nearly 20 years, Claire’s work has appeared in more than 100 magazines and newspapers across the United States and around the world including: “b” Magazine (PA), Houston Woman, Long Island Woman, Manhattan Living, Pittsburgh Parent, San Diego Family Magazine, South Florida Parenting, Southern California Life After 50, Sydney’s Child (Australia), Vermont Home Style, Western New York Family and Woman’s World.
With a passion for writing about topics that have touched her life, Claire has received awards for her articles and columns on meditation, yoga, Alzheimer’s Disease, heart health and domestic violence.
Also an accomplished essayist, Claire’s monthy slice-of-life column Woman@Heart, heralds the joys, tribulations, frustrations and triumphs of womanhood.
A proud San Diego State University alum, Claire was born in Pennsylvania and grew up in Los Angeles. She lives in San Diego with her husband, Nick and three dogs, Baylor, Bandit and Jersey Girl. The couple has three sons, Shawn, Jake and Seth.
