Born in The Netherlands, Claudia loved books from an early age. Her father worked in a paper factory, regularly bringing home books that were destined for the book graveyard.
Claudia dreamed of writing her own book one day. She wrote short stories for magazines when she was eight and even drew the first few pages of a cartoon book. Unfortunately, the magazines did not accept her stories, and Claudia moved to other hobbies.
Many years later, she wrote her first trilogy and self-published it. Claudia has not stopped writing since and hopes to create many more enjoyable books.
