How frightening/exciting is this? My name is Michael Clarke, and I'm also writing fiction - - - crime, horror, fantasy, children and posting reviews of books, comics, etc on my blog - - - www.popculturepodium.blogspot.com Seems like we should be friends. As of today, I will be following you. Respectfully . . . . . Michael J Clarke

Thank God for the letter "e"! Now we won't be confused when we're invited for interviews on all of the talk shows...! Fingers crossed, right? By the way, I was the EIGHTH "Michael Clark" on Goodreads. When I created my author page, no other namesake had claimed their author page, so I was credited with all of their works. I had to email Goodreads to fix it, and they told me that on their end of the system, I am "Michael Clark with 8 spaces between Michael and Clark". True story. Sincerely,

A lot of professionals don't understand "chilling", and often resort to jump scares or too much information. For example, "Jaws"(the movie) was scary because you didn't see the shark for the first half of the movie. We need more "chilling" and "haunting" and less gore and creepy people crawling across the ceiling IMO.(less)

“I need to get through that journal somehow, he dreaded. Tim hadn’t read a book in thirty years, and he was up to his eyeballs in adult problems. He began to feel pressure building; there were not enough hours in the day.”
