Claudia wrote her first novel, Smudge’s Mark, in a closet. (see http://www.themagazine.ca/2011/06/20/...) She's an only child. She's a Canadian. She's married, has three kids, two dogs, and a bearded dragon. She loves caramel apples! She's afraid of snakes, sharks and spiders. And the letter "S". She's an introvert who loves to read and write.
