Yeah, try that with &#8220;johngrant.com.&#8221;  Even Googling myself as a writer I&#8217;m an apparently famous UK sci-fi writer.  (No, I haven&#8217;t read any of his stuff.)  I was burned by my John-Doe-type name years ago now when I read the marvelously scary book <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0102926\/?ref_=ttfc_fc_tt\">Silence of the Lambs<\/a>.  When I  saw the movie which came out a zillion years later &#8212; there&#8217;s great question to research: why did they wait so long?  &#8212; I  said a silent prayer that that creep Clarice is tracking down would not be named Jame Gumb\/John Grant. (The initials figure in the plot.)  No such luck.  Great movie but it bothered me quite a bit.  At least I&#8217;m not sharing a name with the lead character, Dr. Hannibal Lecter.  You would definitely get crank calls, necessitating an unlisted phone number.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s by Loolwa Khazzoom.
