I threw a half-dozen of my columns into the text analyzer I Write Like to see what might happen. This, this is what happened! Dan Brown???
I'm not alone in wondering what the criteria are for similarity — Margaret Atwood put in her own work, to find out she writes like Stephen King.

My novel - Chuck Palahniuk (who I had to Google); my novella - H. P. Lovecraft; my short stories, variously, Stephen King, Douglas Adams, William Gibson, Stephanie Meyer and Dan Brown; my blog posts - Cory Doctorow, and my poetry and flash fiction - James Joyce.
Pretty hysterical.
I think they match vocab. I can see how yours would be Dan Brown in that basis. I did this a couple of weeks ago and My Desert Year blog was Stephen King. I've already forgotten who the others were, but the vocab parallels were the only thing that made sense.
I entered an editorial and I was matched with Jonathan Swift. The next day, I put in the same editorial and got William Shakespeare. Hmm...
sounds like they have loaded the system with at least 4 or 5 authors
Eeek! I appear to be another Dan Brown. Oh, dear.
