Meet the Poet
Claudine C. Wargel
Claudine C. Wargel cherishes the childhood she spent among the vegetable gardens, cropland and animals on her family's Midwestern farm. Ms. Wargel came to love reading and writing as a young girl, often penning simple poems and sharing them with friends. The author went on to study agriculture, communications and journalism, and her articles have appeared in magazines, newspapers and online. Hattie Mae's Halloween (2014) an illustrated paperback children's chapter book, is the author's first published book. Claudine maintains a website devoted largely to her book, and she invites your visit. She calls writing a "hobby," and pays the bills through her business, which conducts qualitative and quantitative research for associations and agricultural interests nationwide. Read.
