Herman Melville

Author of Moby Dick, Herman Melville never thought of himself as a writer. He was an adventurer, learning how to write by learning how to live.

Author Leigh Clark

Leigh Clark takes the same approach. Although she does have some formal training in the art, she feels writing is more than putting words on the page; it is instead a search for knowledge that enhances the way we live and look at the world around us.

Her Works

In This and That, Clark takes everyday observations and makes them beautiful through the telling of eloquent short stories. She reinvents the famous first line of Melville's masterwork with the line Call me Moby Dick in Another Point of View. She explores the painful process of job hunting in The Interview. And take a stop by the peaceful sea in Clark's visual feast, The Beach.

Inspiration

Stories are created to inspire us and teach us about our world and ourselves. Discover enlightenment in the everyday. Melville found his inspiration on a whaling boat. Clark found hers through the twists and turns of an artist's life. Where will you meet your muse?
