Ceri Clark’s first book, Children of the Elementi was published in 2011. Since then she has published over 10 books, a couple of which she submitted to Readers’ Favorite and received 5 star reviews!



She lives in Wales in the UK with her husband and son. Although she has written several books, her heart lies with children's books.

She created Minkie Monster after playing around with a drawing app on her tablet. Her toddler (at the time) loved the character so much she began to tell stories about him and his naughty friend Bob.
