I chose that name years ago, when I first began to write (it is my maiden name), when it was more fashionable to use a pen name and because women who write on that subject are never taken seriously. The pen name of E. J. Clark is non-generic. Eventually in vol two of the trilogy, my sex is revealed but only after everyone was hooked on the first book. In my profession I was known as Clark for 45 years...everyone was simply called, Clark, Jones, Smith etc. All my credientals are in my maiden name of Clark. My married name is England but everyone still calls me Clark...the name just stuck. What's the big deal? I like the name and most people still know and call me by that name.
