Clay Harmon grew up in the town of Oakhurst, located in the foothills of California’s Yosemite National Park. As a kid, his love for writing started on Star Wars roleplaying forums, then graduated to writing novels during his second semester at college. He earned his degree in Marketing from California State University, Fresno.

Writing isn’t his only love. He lives with his wife in Saratoga Springs, Utah, and works at a local software company. He’s an adamant gym-goer and plays video games more than he’s willing to admit.
