Who Do You Write Like?

This morning I found a fun place to start my day. I visited Deirdra Eden Coppel's blog and found a very cool widget! I followed the link to a program that analyses a person's writing style: http://iwl.me/
Rather curious about comparing my own writing style to the styles of others, I posted a small sample of my new novel, "Treasure of El Grado Escaso" and the analysis said that:
I write like
Ernest Hemingway
I Write Like by Mémoires, journal software. Analyze your writing!

I then posted a much bigger sample of the "in progress" novel and it still said that I write like Ernest Hemingway.
I next posted several excerpts from my yet unpublished book, "Three Seconds On, Three Seconds Off" (about my growing up on a lighthouse on the west coast of Canada) for analysis and it said:
I write like
Edgar Allan Poe
I Write Like by Mémoires, journal software. Analyze your writing!
.
For my third and final post, I uploaded some of my novel, "In Ravenscrag's Shadow" and it said:
I write like
Stephen King
I Write Like by Mémoires, journal software. Analyze your writing!
I'm most definitely flattered!
