By profession, Bernard F. Clark is a systems consultant specializing in the design and coaching of software development methods. By Spirit, he has always been a traveler, photographer, artist, storyteller and poet. Born in 1958 in Hertfordshire, England, it wasn't until he moved to America in 1983 that he found his creative voice. During his 'working years', he hosted poetry open mics at Java Beach and Sacred Grounds in San Francisco and published three poetry books: Caffe Latte, Spritzers, and GooGooG'Joob, the latter also comprising a collection of short stories. He was also inspired to create a children's book, David Oodle's Doodle (illustrated by K. Plottner) that poetically relates the adventure of a boy who draws fantastic doodles with his magical pen and plenty of Zen. Since retirement, he has been able to spend more time focusing on one of the great mysteries that confounded him and his childhood friend, when they were choirboys; did Jesus really exist? This exploration led him to the revelation that The Bible fails to account for at least eighteen years of Jesus' life. This was too much of a challenge to not resolve and most of his time is now spent researching and weaving a tale of facts (such as they are known), folklore, legends and fiction that plausibly accounts for who Jesus was and how he became The Messiah. Now residing in southern Nevada, Bernie and his partner enjoy international travel and exploring the national parks and awe-inspiring landscapes of the western USA in their trusty RV. See less
