About the Author

W. Clark Boutwell is a gentleman of a certain age who has spent most of his time learning to be a physician, practicing his craft, and teaching it to others.

In the middle of his seventh decade, he was seized, as these things will happen to men of a certain age, with the conceit to write.

What was initially planned to be a short story, a large work for a novice writer, eventually morphed into a trilogy: Old Men and Infidels. A second trilogy is in the works, completing the task, "use up” the OMAI world, and hopefully bringing it into a safe harbor.  (See Why Omai).

He lives with his new bride since June 2023. He is a believer, long-distance hiker, climber, traveler, bad poet, and worse wit.
