E. Christopher Clark has been an indie publisher since age 14—first with the help of his father’s office photocopier and later with the aid of print-on-demand technology. His current project is a comic book series, The Blood of Seven Queens, a fairy tale mash-up which asks the question “what if Little Red Riding Hood grew up to be the Queen of Hearts?”
The author of The Stains of Time suburban fantasy series and of numerous short story collections, Clark is a graduate of Lesley University’s MFA in Creative Writing program. He lives in Massachusetts with his wife and daughters.
