About the author

Born in New Zealand sometime around the middle of last century, and according to my mother, I was found under a cabbage plant when asked where I came from. During these early years I spent a lot of time with my Grandparents. My Grandfather was a fisherman and owned a small fleet of ocean going fishing boats. Before I was 5 years old I knew how to strip down the engines and how to mend and make fishing nets. All these good things taught to me, I was sure would hold me in good stead at some future time.
So armed with new found knowledge of engines, fishing nets, and that I just grew; I was packed off to Elementary School to begin years of tedious book learning. I remember the first few days quite vividly, wondering home at the first break in class and my mother asking me why I was home. My reply to that was “The teacher said I didn’t need to be there anymore and I knew everything I needed to know.” This was a concept that suited me right down to the ground. But for some unknown reason Mom didn’t see it that way. So I had my sorry butt dragged back to that place! I remained there for one whole year.
At that years end, I was told I was not going to be going back to the old school, which for your information suited me just fine. The trouble was I didn’t hear the rest of the what was being said. I spent that Christmas break enjoying the feeling that school was done for me and I was free to do as I pleased until I was old enough to go out to work. Can you imagine the shock I felt when the Christmas break was over and I find my scrawny ass being dragged out of bed at the ungodly hour of 7:00 a.m. on that Monday morning. (You can insert whatever cuss words you know in here. It’s all good.) A new school, new teachers…oh, crap!
I found myself becoming a foundation pupil of a brand new school. Windley School, a name to be feared in future years. It was during this year that we moved to a new house as well, closer to the school. By the time I was about 8 this learning thing had become a bad habit. Forced into attending this “School” 5 days a week was getting to be a bit of a drag. Although I did find I had the knack for making people laugh and generally getting teachers a tiny bit pissed at me. (Good stuff!) I discovered writing as well during this time and I found that I could get a few laughs out of it. The teacher would say I want a 500 word essay from every one by this afternoon. (Which translated into, I don’t feel like teaching right now I need to rest.) Hell! With only 500 word, I had barely gotten started on the first part. I think the teacher actually feared asking for a word count. While my classmates moaned and groaned about it being so long, I was happily filling my exercise book full of words and dream worlds.
I always knew when the teacher got to my book. There was an audible sigh from her when she opened it. “Clarke come here! “ She would say. “Do you know what 500 words mean?” Yes Ma’am.” I’d answer. “What does it mean? Tell me!” “Not enough Ma’am.” Which usually earned me a slap on the hand from her, much to the enjoyment from the rest of the class.
High School was an eye opener for me. I discovered Girls, lots of girls to occupy my time with. I also during this time I met a local poet, who ended up being my English teacher. Sam Hunt was one of the few people that actually tried to help me develop a style that suited my personality. But unfortunately his time there was limited, His own poetry and needs took first place. I couldn’t blame him for that. If I was at the peak of my career I would have done the same thing as well.
Once out of High School I met a young man that was to become a close and dear friend for many years after. We were destined to share a friendship that would lead both of us through a great deal of harrowing times and adventures. We rode motorbikes together, got into no ends of trouble. Tried our hands at riding in the rodeo for a couple of seasons thinking we might make a fe

WOW! Shadow Warrior Absolution is hands down the best book I've ever read.
W. M. Clarke has such an amazing, brilliant mind to come up with the stuff that is written and hook you in from the beginning until the end. He made me feel like I'm in each scene. I laughed, got pissed off and teared up.
I couldn't put this book down and when I finally did I kept thinking what was coming next.
This book has so much action and suspense, that W. M. Clarke keeps me wanting more and more. Well done.
Best series ever!

I have read all three books in the Shadow Warrior's series. Before the first in this series i had never read or watched Sci Fi.
When i read W.M. Clarke first book i couldnt put it down, very rarely do i read like that. I couldnt wait for Retribution and thay was a great book too. I read Absolution in a week, amazed me.
With W.M. Clarke books he keeps you guessing up to the end, I'm still trying to figure out whats next to come.
I watch a lot of mysteries and with L
W.M. Clarkes books i do ok on sone but he has me wondering on most things. The details will bring you into the story.
The parts of Green Mountain is so detailed i could see every area he wrote.
I feel this book could be a great mini series or movie.
