About Mark
Bio
Mark was born in the Atomic Age, and is still pleasantly surprised that he was not vaporized in the mid-80s.
Early in life he wanted to be a pirate. He was disappointed to learn that since the Age of Sail, piracy has mostly been the vocation of lawyers and corporate accountants, so he set his sights on the exciting new career of explorer.
Then he turned six. Since then, his range of careers has been nothing short of spectacular, something from the Age of Exaggeration:
- mountain climber
- astronaut
- bartender
- singing telegram delivery man (freelance gigolo)
- journalist (indentured gigolo)
- evil marketing genius (slave gigolo)
- positive thinker.
Throughout these varied and most interesting careers, Mark has maintained his love of storytelling. (Even when his Mom told him to "stop it, for the love of God, stop with the stories!" --sorry Mom.)
His own tale is currently set in London, Ontario (Canada), where he shares a home in Old South with his partner, Heather, and their two furry faux-progeny: Mr. Magoo (handsome heavyweight cat) and Ceilidh (goofy giant white doggy).
Bibliography
For a current bibliography, please check out the fiction section of the website. This is not an exhaustive list, but from the standpoint of fiction, fairly complete. (Okay, there's some stuff that he wrote in high school and during his undergraduate years, but do you really want to subject yourself to that?)
For the remainder of the website, he will not talk about himself in the third person.
