Jeffrey Leaf-Clark is a South African born fantasy author and pop culture writer based in Los Angeles. He is a recent graduate of UCLA, where he studied English with concentrations in writing, mythology, and social justice literature.

Moving to the U.S. at an early age, he grew up reading the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, which instilled in him a passion for epic fantasy, history, and mythology. It also inspired him to explore the various hierarchies that populate fantasy literature as he began to build his own literary work.

Even as a child, when he wasn’t studying books on ancient Greece, Rome, Egypt, and Mesopotamia, Jeffrey was writing about distant lands and century’s old adventures.

Holding both Swiss and American citizenship, travel became an essential part of his learning as an author, giving him firsthand access to the remnants of history while expanding his cultural inspirations.

As a gay man with roots in the diverse culture of South Africa, Jeffrey has made it his life’s work to explore the interplay between race, sexuality, and identity through his extensive study and writing.

The Halls of Isa is his first published series.
