Connie Clark (pen name CD Clark) found her love for writing at an early age starting with poems then writing short stories when she was thirteen. She credits her father, also a writer, with the love for the craft and a passion for reading.
One thing she credits to her active imagination is her life experiences. Her family moved quite often, finally settling down in the Ozarks. After moving out on her own she continued to gain knowledge from life's ups and downs to which she puts into her writing.
Throughout her school life she wrote short stories and poems, several which were published in school newsletters. She got an opportunity to write articles for her employer's complex newspaper until it dissolved in 2002. In October of 2020 she retired from her job of 35 years.
She and her husband live in Northwest Arkansas on Bull Shoals Lake. Currently Connie has several novel projects in the works with plans to publish them in the near future. She also has several short stories she plans to publish as a collection of short stories she's written throughout the years.

August 17, 1993
The Forrest County Sheriff’s department was notified early yesterday morning by the Mississippi Highway Department who found a 1987 Chevy Mini van pulled off the road with a flat tire. While in route, Deputy Sheriff Josh Hanes, and Sam Cline, received another call from MDH who found the body of...
“WELCOME!” The sign said, "TO IDENTITY VILLAGE!” in washed-out, old English text. There were other notations on the sign, so I pulled my car off the road and went up to it. I couldn’t begin to guess the age of the sign, but the black lettering and a gold star under the town sign were old and taking on an alligator pattern. The wood was bleached and splintered. Then I noticed in small letters where some comedian wrote, Leave your identity here, and never go home! Cute. I took a snapshot, then...

This book was a real treat! New authors always bring something new to the table
This book is well written and clear as to the story line. I understand her next book will go in an entirely different direction. Watching a new author develop their writing styles is always a journey for the reader.
With me today is Maxwell “Max” Danner, a strong secondary character for my book; “SAVANT”. This interview will be a special one, you see, Max cannot hear or speak well. In a sense we are talking but we are using sign language. I’m not fluent in it so Max brought his friend Linda Hightower to interpret.
Welcome to you both! I’m happy you are here and my readers would like to get to know you.
Linda:Hi! We are happy to be here as well. Max is excited.
Q: What is your name and how did you become involved in this story?
A: Trent Danner, I work as an assistant director for the FBI's special investigations team out of Baltimore Maryland. I became involved under unfortunate circumstances. There is a serial killer on the loose; the media dubbed him Tic Tac Toe. He, I say he because most serial killers are male, however it doesn't mean this person could be female. Though my instincts indicate toward a male suspect.
