Douglas Glenn Clark says... I call myself "Author with Guitar" because I love stories with strings attached. People get themselves tangled up into all kinds of situations -- crime, compromise, love and intrigue. In most cases, the sound of a guitar, or the ability to play the instrument may provide succor or express lament. I am most pleased when I can find good reason to include a six-string in my books and stories. (By the way, there is even a guitar in my Chaser O'Clery crime series. You'll find it in Burning Hope: Episode Two: Ash. ) Simple values guide my work as a writer. My father was a musician. Music was the language of my formative years. I found my song in words. Midwest Book Review: Shirley Johnson "The characters live in a world of enchantment and the reader is drawn into that world by the words and story of Douglas Glenn Clark. The descriptive power of his words in many instances was exceptional." (The Lake That Stole Children) The mix of plain and lyrical prose in "The Lake That Stole Children" and "The Memory Songbook" is the result of applying the craft of song lyrics, spoken-word performance and literary fiction to narrative. Just as melody can move from a single-note sequence to a symphonic sweep, narrative can begin quiet and spare and then swell to express emotional and intellectual depth, crisis or revelation. "The Memory Songbook began as a novel about youth, first love and music -- and then became a story about the battle of holding onto youth as we age. ...a cry from one generation to another." I began playing guitar at a young age. My father would have preferred that I stay with trumpet. But you can't simultaneously sing or speak when playing the trumpet. Guitar became an all-encompassing sensual experience: the chords resonated through my fingers to my body. I soon discovered that well-chosen clusters of words that appeared at the nib of my pencil or pen had the same power to move me. "I particularly liked **little R-E-D*!! dress*** which was poetic, beautifully written and just about perfect. The Cancer Assassin is a fine collection." Joseph Aragon, author of Paris Plot *** I've also taught as a guest artist in the upstate New York public schools (Albany and Rochester) and I have written for the theater. My plays have been produced at the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego, as well as the Chester Theatre Company in the Berkshires. I have received writing awards from the Connecticut, Massachusetts and Michigan arts councils. My journalism has been published in daily newspapers, such as the Los Angeles Daily News, and various print and online publications
