Claudia Pemberton is a lifetime resident of  the state of West Virginia.  She’s a very proud member of the Military Writers Society of America, Romance Writers of America, American Authors Association, and West Virginia Writers, Inc.  Claudia is also a book reviewer for the Military Writers Society. ”Love Leaves No One Behind” is Claudia’s debut novel. Writing this romantic thriller, which tells the story of a U.S. Army Ranger and a grieving woman, caused a life-altering discovery for the author.  After extensively researching the lead character of Jesse Daulton, a soldier looking forward to retiring from a twenty-year career as an Army Airborne Ranger, Claudia began to embrace the true meaning of patriotism, gaining a deep and abiding understanding of the extreme and selfless sacrifice made by American soldiers each and every day of their lives. ”Love Leaves No One Behind” is a tribute to the men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces.
