Claudia Watts Edge spent her childhood years between city life in Salt Lake City Utah and her grandparents farm in Lehi Utah. City Girl/Country Girl was a mantra she wore proudly, as she learned to plant crops, attend to the animals, and collect precious eggs to carton and sell. The example of her parents and grandparents hard work were not lost on her, as she developed a strong work ethic while also discovering her natural ability as a story teller. She has always felt that stories are an important form of communication, perhaps from within her own DNA and the blood the Catawba Indian Nation and her Great Grand Uncle Chief Sam Blue.
At sixteen, her idyllic world came crashing down when her beloved Father was killed in a horrific work accident. This loss of her Dad has served as a catalyst for an unquenchable thirst for knowledge of the After-Life. She spent years reading Dr. Raymond Moody’s books featuring the accounts of near-death experiences, until she had an experience of her own. In 1984 during the birth to her fifth child in a Salt Lake City Hospital, she bled to death knowing her baby girl had already perished, but miraculously, both were resuscitated. She has spent the last 37 years writing her crystal recall of that event, and the subsequent dream experiences of the Other Side with the Light and what she has deemed Spirit School.
She asks mankind’s hard questions, and then searches to find the answers, who are we, why are we here, and what happens after we die” and this quest is a driving force in her life, and she has found her purpose in offering the answers as she learns. She has written two books of her personal accounts in an award-winning series called ‘GIFTS FROM THE EDGE’, and her third book is a collection of ‘others accounts’ of spiritual and life changing events, titled, ‘WE TOUCHED HEAVEN.’
Claudia spent 25 years living in Colorado Springs Colorado, working as a Real Estate Agent and Hospice Volunteer, and is now semi-retired, giving her the freedom to write and enjoy public speaking engagements.
She now lives in Salt Lake City with her husband Chris, enjoying being close to her family and their 10 grandchildren who are a consistent source of inspiration of life lessons and insights.
