C.L. Hunter started writing poetry as a young girl. Her grandparents owned newspapers in Arkansas: the McCrory Leader and the Augusta Advocate. She'd send them those poems. In return they'd print them in the weekly newspaper and send the clippings back to her. That started her love for writing.
She attended Arkansas State, studying business, but started a family early having three children. Hunter considers herself a Floridian, having lived in Saint Augustine since the age of seven. She loves the beach and hot, humid weather-the hotter the better. She is an avid gardener, loving every type of flower God created. You'll find flowers in all her books. She also loves boating and anything that has to do with the water. When she's not writing, she's a design consultant for a custom homebuilder in Jacksonville, Florida.
Hunter has written several short stories, but keeps them under lock and key. Her first novel, Your Soul Was Made for Mine, won Readers Favorite Silver Award and the Benjamin Franklin Digital Silver Honoree Award.
