welcome!
I’m Claudia, a writer and artist.
what do I write?
I write middle-grade fiction; partly of the realistic kind, mostly of the magical kind.
what’s my art?
I paint with alcohol inks and watercolours. I’ve realized recently that I paint places I want to be — subconsciously. It isn’t until I’m finished a painting that I sit back and think, hmmmmm … I’d like to be there. And “there” is usually out in nature, surrounded by rocks and trees and stars.
what else is there to know?
I love reading, writing, painting, knitting, and above all camping. I keep telling people that one of these days I’m going to sell everything and live on the road in a VW van. Just you wait and see.
I was born in Austria, but live in Toronto, Canada with my husband, two loving doggos, and an aquarium full of darling little water creatures. I’ve got three adult children and a grandpup named Murphy. He’s the absolute sweetest thing!
My writing is represented by Ammi-Joan Paquette of Erin Murphy Literary Agency, and I couldn’t be happier about that! 🙂

After a long day at work sitting in front of a computer screen, I find it so difficult to do the same at home. I miss coffee shops to work in. This is so important to remember. Just take a word at a time! Excited to watch your journey!
Side note:
I, too, thought that all Stephen King’s work was scary. I learned not all his work is scary, I started with Different Seasons; four short stories all very good! Including Rita Wilson and Shawshank Redemption, and The Body (also known as Stand by Me).

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Amber-Rose. I look forward to sitting in one of those coffee shops with you one day — maybe to work side-by-side, or maybe just to hang out and discuss a not-scary Stephen King book! 🙂
