Born a small non-denominational child in San Francisco, Clea's life quickly took a wrong turn and she ended up growing up in a town called Hollywood. Florida.

Clea has written 12 books for major publishers. She's concepted for major ad agencies and worked on campaigns for Target, Hello Kitty and a beer company that will remain nameless. Clea wrote girl-centric video games and answered an advice column for Girlsense.com, and now has a column and blog about shopping in San Diego over at City Beat. Clea even opened up a bar and restaurant in San Diego with a couple of partners. Random, right? But that's Clea. If there is one word that describes her, it's random. Oh, and short. Short and random. That's two words.
