Jack London? Very cool.
Fellow Elevensie member Randy Russell had this fun test on his blog. I tried it with two different ms and both times came up with this. Give it a try - it's good for your ego.
Thank you for all the cover love comments on the art for DOGSLED DREAMS. I have the best commenters!

Dammit, I got Stephenie Meyer. I quit.
Hehe.
Your list is thorough, I like it.
Oh wow. I analyzed four book chapters. I got: William Gibson (I don't even know who that is), Nabakov, Margaret Atwood, and James Joyce. I won't be posting a little banner on my blog, I don't think. Fun, though!
Jack London -- how appropriate!
What did you think of the Hatchet series? I adore it.
Like Marcia, I tried a couple of different chapters--openings of two chick lit novels. One came out as William Gibson (inventor of cyberpunk) and one was James Joyce. Do you suppose this means I write literary cyberpunk chick lit? Interesting genre mashup. It's fun though.
Hmmm...apparently I write like someone named William Gibson. I've never even hear of him but now I suppose I'll have to read something of his!
