J.S. Clark (myself in the third person) was born in Alaska, raised in Washington state, served in the Marine Corps, and now resides with his wife in southern Ohio, where they are starting up a market garden of organic and heirloom produce while living the homestead life on five or so acres with a pack of cats, a friendly dog, sheep, goats, ducks, and chickens. "New Arbor Day" is his first published work, but he's always working on another. In the next one to two months he'll be releasing his first short story, and hopefully in less than a year, his next novel, more details to be seen at his blog.
