ⓘ About Ray Clark
Since this time, Ray’s writing career has been rather varied with publications covering horror novels, short story collections, stand alone cross genre novels, and the “Gardener and Reilly” series of detective novels set in Leeds, a Yorkshire city. Ray has spent a considerable amount of his life in the music industry working both in Europe and the United Kingdom as a guitarist and vocalist with many bands. “Impurity” started out as nothing more than a brainwave. He was visiting a friend, and was trying to come up with something new and different to write. Ray had a notion to write a tale about an alternative Santa Claus, possibly the exact opposite of the nice and fat jolly chap he gets depicted as. Following their meal and some drinks, his friend said that he should think outside the box. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Gardener and Reilly Books series, Ray Clark has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
