BEHIND THE WORLDS

Clara Hope
Ellwood.

Clara Hope Ellwood was born in Illinois and raised in West Los Angeles. A member of Generation X, she began exploring computers as a teenager on a Macintosh with a 1200 baud modem in 1985. Her interests span robotics, artificial intelligence, anime, tabletop role-playing games, and MMORPGs—all fuel for an active imagination and a love of writing. Her idea of a great Friday night? Settling in with a good 8-bit game and pizza.
