The Life and Works of an American Author

From the World of Clark

We made it through Hurricane Irma, by “we” I mean my dog Gunner and me. My family abandoned me. Bonnie packed up husband and kids and went all the way to Tennessee and my Shawn took off with my wife Nancy and his family to Michigan for a wedding just as the Cane was looking serious. This was our first big Cane while living on the water and watching storms come in over open water has a distinctly different feel to it.

But the Gunner and me did just fine. Not totally true, it was stressful as crap. Trying to decide what to save or protect when it looks like it’s all going to wash away is really hard. God spared us but it was not a fun couple of weeks. I can’t imagine what the people in the Keys and Naples and the islands went through and are still going through.

As we all watched the incredible power and massive size of Irma I could not help but think of a few verses from Luke: “And there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars, and upon the earth dismay among the nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, men fainting from fear and expectation of the things which are coming upon the world…”

So my Girl Friday, her real name is Tori McGee, is that great name or what…so Girl Friday got SECTION 8 on audiobook. No one in my family has actually read SECTION 8 and I think it’s one of the best things I’ve written… A prophet is never honored in his home town. But even my wife has been listening to the audio and loves it!

I’m sorry but I just crack myself up! The SECTION 8 audiobook is coming out on Amazon in the next couple weeks and quite honestly this thing should be a movie. America and our military need a laugh right now and this insanity should make anyone laugh. The professional actor/reader does audio books for a living all the time and he told me this was the best book he’s read in ages. He does a great job, he gives the characters their own voices and these maniacs just seem to come to life. Pass the word for me and report in if you laugh.

Semper Fi, Johnnie Clark
