Cedrix E. Clarke is a pseudonym for a Kentucky writer that has written his entire adult life, but only recently began self-publishing his writing. His short stories appear on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Cedrix has a professional day job in a small town in Kentucky and writes at night, and like most comic book heroes, he must protect his identity. Cedrix does not fight crime…not yet, anyway.
