J.M. Clarke is a Canadian author that watched way too much Godzilla as a kid. He has worked with children and families over his career, volunteered in hospice, and failed to learn how to play the bass three times.

Having written stories for twenty years, he started sharing them online during the pandemic and—next thing he knew—he was a bestseller on Amazon. He is still half-convinced this is all a dream.

He is best known for his Mark of the Fool and Rune Seeker series (cowritten with Carter J. Thompson), and has had short stories published as well.

Seriously, this has to be a dream, right?

Carter writes books, drinks coffee, and obsesses over shoes; just don’t ask him to do that all at the same time – he’s terrible at multi-tasking. And punctuation.

Hailing from the Canadian Maritimes, he’s been from far north to far south in North America, and even to the other side of the world, but is now living in Vancouver BC with his smart, beautiful, and wonderful wife (yes, she could be reading this).

Writing somewhere between science-fiction and fantasy, he loves a good story, and if you want to find out more about his work, the latest series Rune Seeker, co-authored with the pretty awesome JM Clarke, is a good place to start.
