J C Clarke

Previously a falconer, consultant and writer-presenter of CITV’s Wild World, J C Clarke is now loving the writer’s life and is also a script consultant and copywriter. She’s been involved in falconry and conservation industries for over 20 years, and is so passionate about protecting wildlife she’s pledged to support British wildlife and bird of prey conservation charities through sales of Spellboda. An alumna of the Curtis Brown Creative Writing for Children Course, she was shortlisted for Best Opening Chapter for Spellboda at the 2019 Jericho Writers Festival of Writing. Jo has already been approached by an LA production company and is working with them on turning Spellboda into a movie, as well as writing the second book of the series. She lives in Ashford, Kent with her family – and a large number of animals!

“Jo Clarke brings her exceptional knowledge of falcons and her amazing imagination and writing skills to this clever and captivating story.” – Sean Derek, Emmy-winning writer (The Smurfs, Batman, Pac-Man)

“Spellboda will make you soar with joy, like the falcons and eagles in the book. As a movie producer, sort of falconer and now, wanna be Spellboda, I loved it and can’t recommend it enough...”

– Larry Kasanoff, Film Producer (Mortal Kombat; Lego: The Adventures of Clutch Powers)
