Author Uses Fiction to Explore Male Friendships in ARE YOU LONESOME TONIGHT?

Author Michael J. Clark weaves a story of romance and nostalgia that highlights the powerful, positive impact of friendship in his debut novel, "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" (published by AuthorHouse).

Set in Florida, "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" introduces readers to Joe Randall, who, on the eve of his 70th birthday, gets a visit from his old high school friend, Chad Dablusie. Over the past six years, ever since the love of his life, Stacey, walked out on him, Joe's life has spiraled downward, and Chad has come to persuade him to win Stacey back.

An excerpt from "Are You Lonesome Tonight?":

"By now more than 30 yrs later, both aged 52, those early years had long gone. Memories that had crystallised over the years are all that remained for these two middle aged family men. But yes, as teenagers if anyone ever had the world at their feet it was Chad and Joe. But what life giveth, life will eventually taketh away. Never again would they experience the adulation they enjoyed from their college fan club. Gone forever being the local Romeos of their college and never again would they experience singing to a crowd of scantily clad beauties at the summer beach parties."

"My book is a feel good story, with lots of emotion, humor, nostalgia, love, despair, romance, twists and turns with a strong message that sometimes a good friendship never dies," Clark writes. "I wrote it to be, amongst other things, a very humorous book."
