Clara Ward lives in Silicon Valley on the border between reality and speculative fiction. When not using words to teach or tell stories, Clara uses wood, fiber, and glass to make practical or completely impractical objects.

Their new novella, Dream the Deep, and their previous novel, Be the Sea, explore sea creature perspectives, marine technology, and chosen family, while delving into our oceans, our selves, and how all futures intertwine.

Their short fiction has appeared in Strange Horizons, Decoded Pride, Small Wonders, and in The Neurodiversiverse: Alien Encounters from Thinking Ink Press.
