Ell Leigh Clarke

Ell Leigh Clarke is a self-published author of LitRPG and urban fantasy, best known for contributing to The Ascension Myth and the Deuces Wild series within Michael Anderle's shared-universe Kurtherian Gambit franchise, a large collaborative project involving dozens of authors. Her other work includes the fantasy-adventure Sword-Mage Chronicles, the post-apocalyptic Deadland Drifter series, and the cozy-mystery-adjacent Moonlight Detective Agency and A Very British Witch books. Clarke's fiction spans several genres, from collaborative space-fantasy to lighter urban-fantasy mysteries, reflecting the range common among prolific indie authors who write both within shared universes and their own original series. With more than fifty titles across ten series, she has built a substantial career in independent genre publishing, though further public biographical information is limited.
