The Story Behind the Stories
Clayton Taylor Wood started with a question: what would a magic system look like if it actually had rules? Five years, one son, and twenty-five books later, he's still answering it — across six series ranging from deep epic fantasy to laugh-out-loud comedy. He's drawn on careers in computer programming, graphic design, martial arts instruction, and emergency medicine. Every background shows up in the books.
Writing was always Clayton's passion, but it wasn't until the birth of his first son that he found the inspiration necessary to finish his first book. Five years later, he published Runic Awakening, the first entry in the Runic Series.
