C.R. Fladmark at the Matsue Castle, Shimane Prefecture, Japan
​
C.R. Fladmark was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest in a place called Vancouver, BC. From an early age, he loved to create imaginary worlds and to read books.
​
As a teenager, he became interested in all things Japanese (ninja, swords, old temples and shrines, customs), although he had little exposure to the culture. More than a decade later and after forgetting most of his interest in Japan, he was introduced to a Japanese woman on a blind date.
​
His subsequent travels to Japan (with her) introduced him to the myths and history of Japan that go back thousands of years, to the time when the gods ruled Japan. He now travels often to Japan, where he researches his novels among the ancient sites in Shimane Prefecture.
