St. Claire's Writing Voice is expressed in a 3rd person, intimate POV. In each scene, the reader is placed into the head of the character through whom readers experience what the character sees, what they hear and feel and touch and how they think, and how they interpret things. In some cases, readers exit a scene curious, confused, happy, tearful, terrified, or plenty pissed off. Regardless of the emotion experienced, St. Claire feels he's accomplished what he'd set out to do: tug the reader into the story's actions via compelling storylines shown through characters in which readers will invest themselves.
It won't take many pages for readers to realize St. Claire does his homework. So much so his works are oftentimes described as Faction, rather than Fiction.

It won't take many pages for readers to realize St. Claire does his homework. So much so his works are oftentimes described as Faction, rather than Fiction. Before, during, and after writing, St. Claire puts in the time to research his projects. When he writes about the complexities of piloting commercial aircraft, performing a delicate surgery, exposing faith healers for the frauds they are, investigating human smugglers, trekking the Greenland coast in search of a long-rumored but never discovered WWII Nazi missile test base, his stories ring true.
Great stories are told through great characters. And St. Claire's stories are littered with them. From a former minor league hockey player turned pawn shop owner who finds himself unwittingly caught up in a deadly, international game of cat and mouse, to a blind, savant teen who has discovered how to turn back on cells that cause aging
Great stories are told through great characters. And St. Claire's stories are littered with them. From a former minor league hockey player turned pawn shop owner who finds himself unwittingly caught up in a deadly, international game of cat and mouse, to a blind, savant teen who has discovered how to turn back on cells that cause aging, to a college coed who buys her first house only to learn that spirits of recently murdered homeless men are inexplicably trapped inside and seeking to avenge their deaths, to a young, albino boy whose older brother was killed while working to expose an international child-pornography syndicate, St. Claire's characters are flawed, funny, ambitious, hopeful, slothful, egotistical, selfish as hell, self-righteous, and sometimes absolutely adorable. In other words, they are us.
Randall D. St. Claire crafts mysteries and thrillers that dwell in the shadows where most dare never look. Now living in Texas, he writes stories that explore what happens when people chase the truth too far -- and what it costs them when they find it. He is professionally represented by Three Seas Lit.
St.Claire's debut is titled And A Whale of Stone:
When a pawn shop owner in Warroad, MN. learns a box he bought filled with Inuit trinkets likewise includes drawings to a military base which powerful people wish to keep a secret, he uncovers a chain of intrigue powerful enough to shatter everything he believes -- and everyone he loves.
This will be followed by Original Intent, which picks up ten years after And A Whale of stone.
The technology that seemed so promising when first discovered, has turned on the very scientists who created it. And now, Bronx must find a way to gain control before it is too late . . . for everyone.
Two down, thirteen to go. Keep your seatbelts handy because this is going to be a bumpy ride.
Randall D. St. Claire writes immersive, research-driven mystery thrillers blending emotional depth with cinematic tension. Mentored by speculative fiction legend Patricia Anthony, he crafts stories that reveal the dangerous costs of uncovering the truth.
A former president of the Greater Dallas Writers Association, he has also had published business and analytical articles in D CEO Magazine and other outlets under his given name, Randy Thompson.
With his upcoming releases, St. Claire plans to unfold a network of stories that can stand alone, or interlock into as many as three larger series -- exploring obsessions, consequences, and the cost of knowing too much.
