Claudia’s passion has taken her on a writing journey that began with her first book, “A Grandmother’s Secret Diet…Bring on the Grandkids,” when she was a young grandmother. She’s also the author of, “Goldie and Her Friends” and “Goldie Earns a Red Jacket.” She has written articles in magazines, community newspapers, and has had award-winning stories in three anthology books. As a previous member of FWA and SCBWI, she led several writer critique groups. Claudia has since retired and is still writing, while living with her dog, Mari.
