Hi, I‘m Claudia, an Australian author living in Vienna, Austria. My writing aims to bring mythology and folklore to life through the lens of history.

Currently, I‘m writing a novel series, with the first book set in Mesolithic Britain. In 2023, I submitted a condensed version of my manuscript to the Young Storyteller Award and won a place among the Top 20.
