"I love short stories because I believe they are the way we live. They are what our friends tell us, in their pain and joy, their passion and rage, their yearning and their cry against injustice."
—Andre Dubus

If you like my writing, and if you’d like me to write more, please consider sliding me a buck or three per month!

I’ll be posting new short fiction to my Website every month for FREE. You don't have to pay to get this stuff, but it would really help if you did. My family is deep in debt and I don’t make a full-time living as a teacher. I’ve tried taking on side jobs in the past, but I’ve never tried making this activity that I love the side job. That changes now. I might fail, and that's super-scary, but I have to try. And trying, that has me super-pumped. Here's more on why I decided to do this.

Who am I? In case you don't already know, here’s my bio. You can learn more about me here.

E. Christopher Clark is an author living and working in Chelmsford, Massachusetts.

His writing has been published alongside the work of Jack Kerouac, Andre Dubus, and others in River Muse: Tales of Lowell & The Merrimack Valley. He has also been published in Entelechy International, Commonthought, Device, The Bradford Review, and in Literary Matters, the newsletter of the Association of Literary Scholars, Critics, and Writers.

He was born and raised in the Merrimack Valley in Massachusetts, the setting for much of his work. He earned his Bachelor of Arts at Bradford College in 1999 and his Master of Fine Arts at Lesley University in 2005.

Now a senior lecturer at Lesley, he lives with his wife and daughters just minutes away from the river that has shaped his life and his work.

Thanks for your consideration!
