LSUS grad Will Clarke to conduct book signing July 24
07/14/05

Author Will Clarke, a 1993 LSUS graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree in marketing, will conduct a “blast” of a book signing for the hard-back re-release of his fascinating novel, “Lord Vishnu’s Love Handles,” at 3 p.m. Sunday, July 24, at Books-A-Million in the Bossier Corners shopping center.

Clarke is also a regular guest lecturer in LSUS marketing classes.

The book-signing will feature a drawing for an iPod Shuffle, finger puppets and a stimulating lecture about real-life spies and psychics. Clarke’s current book tour, which began July 7, covers three states with stops in Austin, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio, Jackson and Oxford, Miss., and Shreveport, Baton Rouge and New Orleans.

Now a freelance creative director and author, Clarke is a former creative director at DDB Worldwide and, prior to that, he worked at McCann-Erickson where his TV work for Attorneys.com garnered a national Gold Addy, and a London Advertising Award. His work has been featured in Print’s Advertising Annual, Ad Age, Adweek, The Wall Street Journal, and Creativity.

Simon and Schuster is publishing “Lord Vishnu’s Love Handles,” and a movie based on the novel is being developed at Paramount Pictures by producer Michael London (Sideways) and director David Gordon Green (George Washington). For more info about his work, visit www.psychiccow.com
