Born and raised in a tiny village in upstate New York, I am a culinary veteran with over 35 years of experience working in restaurants, catering, the natural foods industry, and as a culinary educator. 
After selling most of what I owned and traveling the world for a year, I wrote a book about what I ate and where I went. "Clarke Wanders: The World (Or How a Very Sober, Mostly Vegan Spinster Chef Wandered a Welcoming World)".
I now live in the Foothills of the Rockies and have decided to take my many adventures, people watching, daydreaming, and fertile imagination-ing, and write fiction.
