One hundred years ago, famed industrialist F. Lewis Clark vanished without a trace. His disappearance is one of the great missing persons cases of the 20th century. When I was invited to write a tale for Bedtime Stories, an event hosted at the Spokane Club, which was founded by F. Lewis Clark, I did what any intrepid author would do—I broke out a Ouija Board and transcribed this very "true" ghost story. Bedtime Stories is an annual literary event put on by Humanities Washington. All proceeds from this story will be happily donated to them. Thanks for reading! - Jamie

Jamie Ford’s debut novel, Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, spent two years on the New York Times bestseller list and went on to win the 2010 Asian/Pacific American Award for Literature. Jamie’s work has been published in 34 languages. Also, because Jamie feels weird writing about himself in the 3rd person, he’s going to say… Hi, this is me. Not a publicist. Not some weird aggregated bit of web-content, just little ol’ me, the author, sitting here in my favorite Batman pajamas (yes, I have several pairs) writing this note in my cozy home office, dog at my feet. Her name is Lucy and she’s twitching right now, obviously chasing squirrels in her dreams. While we’re chatting, I should mention that my latest novel novel, The Many Daughters of Afong Moy, is now available for pre-order :) If you’re looking for more things that have spilled out of my brain, I have steampunk storiess in The End is Nigh, The End is Now, and The End Has Come (The Apocalypse Triptych). Also a tale in Stories from Suffragette City. Lest I forget, I have a story in Anonymous Sex, but I'm not allowed to say which story is mine.
