A Heartfelt Announcement from Author
Claudia Santiago
Back in 2009, a tiny family of pug puppies filled the Santiago home with shenanigans, cuddles, and unforgettable adventures. During this special season, a sweet little pup named Haley joined the family—bringing joy that soon inspired the birth of the Viva-Little-Haley! Children’s Storybook Series.
Sadly, Haley became ill and eventually crossed the rainbow bridge. 
The grief, along with major life transitions, brought the series to a pause.
But even then, creativity continued to bloom. That same year, Claudia Santiago received a vivid dream that became the foundation for her Lolly of Wildwood Cottage series. Fast forward to December 12, 2024, when Volume 1: New Beginnings officially launched!
Volume 2: Feliz Navidad… A Christmas to Remember is set for release in Fall 2026. (Pen name: Vivian Guillermo Córdova-Quiroz)
In 2023, Claudia Santiago introduced LIFE IS A BEAUTIFUL THING series. In 2025 Claudia celebrated the release of the matching gorgeous Planner & Journals.
