Sword of the Kingdom

Brad Clark grew up in the moderately sized city of Grand Rapids, Michigan, but now resides in a small town in the southwest corner of Michigan. He works as a software engineer at a local family-owned software company. Reading and writing has always been his passion, but the stories that were jotted down into piles of notebooks never made it beyond a chapter or two. Somewhere between coaching youth sports and all of life’s great adventures, a full-length novel happened to get written. After much nagging from his wife and kids, he broke down and published his first novel as an e-book. With a renewed passion for writing, he dove into the fantasy genre to start the epic fantasy series The Champion Chronicles. As much as he has a passion for reading and writing, Brad is also an avid road bicyclist and runner. Springtime is running season as he prepares for an annual half-marathon. Summer, though, is his favorite time where he can spend hours riding his bike on quiet back country roads. With five kids, two still at home, writing is a way to escape from the busyness of life. His stories come from his love of the genre and from his heart. Whether the stories work for the rest of the world is not why he writes, he writes because he simply wants to put his dreams on paper. He never wants his writing to be work, he only desires it to be a fun hobby and hopes that others can share in his stories.
