Klara considers herself a creator of worlds, a conjurer of the past. She started writing when she was eight years old and has tried her hand at several literary forms and genres. Most often, she writes historical novels imbued with mystery and suspense, and flavoured with a dash of romance. Klara holds a BA in Literature from The University of Tokyo, where she researched the literary traditions of courtly love in French and Japanese classical novels. Her first book, a collection of haikus titled "Purely, Simply Haiku" came out to local literary acclaim when Klara was seventeen. More recently, she graduated from Margaret Atwood's Masterclass in Creative Writing. When she does not write, Klara attends historical reenactment events as a costumer, reads, travels and takes long walks in the forest. After living for many years in Japan, India, Romania, Hungary and France, she has grown roots in the Swedish countryside, where she lives with her family.
