the first line is " it was a dark and stormy night." any help on the title and author would be appreciated. i know there's an annual 'worst fiction' contest named after the author.

Those words are the start of the godawful opening sentence to Edward George Bulwer-Lytton's book, Paul Clifford. You will not find Paul Clifford on a lot of reading lists, for good reason. It's full of sentences like the first one. Read it, and lots of other hilariously bad stuff, here:

"A Wrinkle in Time" by Madeline L'Engle begins with that line, but the line was made famous by Charles Schulz, the writer for Peanuts, the comic strip with snoopy.
