Claudia Kesser was born and raised in Logansport, IN. She married Richard Kesser in her senior year of college. They both graduated from Indiana University. They lived for 8 years in Bellflower, CA where their children, Matthew and Amy, were born. They since have made Oklahoma City, OK, their home for the last 30 years.
The birth of their granddaughter, Emily, inspired Claudia to write the "Princess Emily" books, which she had been doing for the last 10 years. Her desire was for Emily to come to know God by meeting and interacting with great Bible characters and by witnessing their faith in God.
