About John H Clark III

Picture
This is a selfie at the fishing village, Finisterrae, in northwest Spain. And those are my hiking shoes, tied to the end of my trekking pole, stuck in the crevice of a large rock overlooking the Atlantic. I had recently completed my second walk along the historic Camino de Santiago pilgrimage, and was visiting the place once considered to be the end of the world, hence the name (finis, end; terrae, land). I learned quite a bit about myself along that 550-mile trek, and made more than a handful of new, lifelong friends from such places as Denmark, England, Norway, South Africa and Spain. 

​I'm a native Houstonian, now living in small-town central Texas with three females: a highly neurotic and mostly blind mini-dachshund, a rescued calico cat with an eating disorder, and my lovely wife, who keeps everything together.


I have a journalism degree from the University of Houston, and was a newspaper reporter and photographer for 20 years or so. I’m proud to say I’ve won some awards for news reporting, and also for column writing. Along with writing books and different things, I keep my hand in the newspaper game by contributing feature stories in various publications from time to time.
​

There’s just something about newspapers. I’ll always love ‘em.

I also offer proofreading, editing and ghostwriting services for fellow writers. If you have the urge to write, just do it. As a friend of mine once said, "Writers write." So that's what I do. And so should you.

If you have ever thought about writing a book – your biography, or maybe a family history or something like that – check out my “Writing services” page.

OK, that’s it, I reckon. I have some painting and  some writing to do …

A few reviews of John's books

The 30-Day Optimism Solution: 
“I just re-read this book for the third time. I have read several books by John Clark and this book, by far, is my favorite. So much of our everyday lives are impacted by how we think about it. We have the power to choose but so many times we choose the easy wrong versus the slightly more difficult right. John may feel this book helped him more than it might help me but I think the positive impacting, even in the slightest, of another person's life is a great gift. I am so pleased for John's journey of discovery and awareness, moreover I am pleased to have this book in my possession. I am excited to recommend this book to several people I know.”

“This was the right book at the right time for me. I have been struggling with some things, and Clark offers some wonderful information on how to turn things around, not to mention describing his own struggles with negativity. I think this book is going to help a lot of people.” –

Depression Blues:         
“Part memoir, part informative text. You get both when reading 'Depression Blues' by John H. Clark III. Mr. Clark shares his struggles with depression in an honest and real way, and as the book progresses, so does his hope. Woven into the story as jumping off points are bits of information about depression and ways to "conquer" the sadness, loneliness, and despair that comes with it.

Mr. Clark becomes more than an author in this book; he becomes a friend who understands the pain of depression and provides light. I recommend this book to anyone looking for light or to anyone who knows someone with depression and wants to learn more.”
