Clarke read The Hobbit at 10 years old and has lived in the world of fantasy ever since. When he’s not escaping into video games and tabletop realms, he’s working hard to improve healthcare. He holds a BA from Hamilton College. He earned a black belt in Shaolin Kung Fu and has faced more than his fair share of war hammers to the head while weapons training. He lives with his wife (and co-author), two children, and one rambunctious cat.
