About the author
Jaffrey Clark
19 books55 followersGrowing up, I started telling stories as early as three or four years old. My imagination was so healthy, I am told, that I often acted out full-scale battles between good and evil in the yard . . . by myself. In classic boy style, they were of course violent, causing some concern for my mother. Fortunately, I turned out okay.
As early as second grade, writing was a highlight in my education. I even looked forward to research papers. I relished most the chance for creative writing. Despite this enjoyment, I never tackled anything as ambitious as a novel in High School.
After two years of working toward a BA in Accounting and competing for the varsity swim team at Penn State University, something snapped. One summer afternoon, I grabbed a notebook and a pen, sat down at the picnic table on my parents back deck and started writing my first novel. As it would happen, I still haven’t finished that story, but it re-awakened in me the desire to write fiction.
Fast forward more than ten years, several experimental young adult fiction projects, many vacations from disciplined writing, and I have at last completed the first book in a larger story entitled “The Reaper’s Seed.” The story will likely be four books in all. And, of course, I have several other novels in partial states of completion, on paper and in my head. As a part-time writer, that’s life.

Thoroughly enjoyed the entire series
The Shadow Tribe (Parts 1-7) is best read as the continuous story that it is. Very satisfying triumph of good over evil!
Clark’s writing will appeal to readers as young as 8-10 years, although there are scenes of disturbing violence, so parents are cautioned to read the stories before sharing them with their children.
Clark does need a proofreader, perhaps. He was very consistent with the use of wrong words (maybe he dictated the text); often the word chosen was a homonym of the correct word. If the reader can get past that, the story is engaging and engrossing.
The final chapters were reminiscent of a video game! Again, the story could appeal to a wide audience.

GREAT set of Books
This sets a record for me. I usually get tired of series of books at three maybe four, went through all seven ever finished the last book in two days! Not sure exactly got me on this one, but it really kept my interest throughout. Would recommend the entire series to everyone.

Fantastic series!
Thoroughly enjoyed all 7 parts of The Shadow Tribe! It was heart wrenching, brave, adventurous, magical and a little bit romantic!
