Produktbeschreibung
Mark Time's latest memoir turns the tables on Bill Bryson as a Limey submerged in the mystifying world of America's Mid West. As the bookend to the 'Bootneck Threesome' trilogy, Mark turns away from a hapless life in green and join the ranks of misguided adventurer. As follow-up to the internationally acclaimed Going Commando and Going All The Way, Mark continues unabated in his quest to celebrate buffoonery. 'I've learned the hard way not to approach immigration officials whilst eating a Scotch Egg.' Mark Time. Mark Time is leaving the Royal Marines. He decides the ideal way to prepare for 'Civvy Street' is to participate in a kayaking expedition down the Mississippi River with three other commandos. Armed with nothing more than audacity and a poor pancake recipe, Mark's journey is typically one of hilarity and misfortune punctuated with surreal vignettes that venture off like the tributaries of the great river itself. As one does, Mark gets inextricably involved with, death, elk murdering Christians, heroin addicted teachers, stigmata, and a parrot called Humphrey, all while painting a unique caricature of the 'Big Muddy'. Pioneering as a military/travel crossover, Mark's unique style now follows his true passion. His already loyal audience will now expand to the many travel fans tired of sycophantic travel blogs. After the success of his previous works, MARK TIME has written articles for the national press and appeared on TV and radio.

Autorenporträt
Mark Time has made overcoming adversity an art form. The Royal Marines was his first metaphorical Goliath, but with fortitude and resilience as his sidekick he became a commando by the age of 17. Camaraderie, adventure and the occasional bout of idiocy have since become personal watchwords, creating his unique style that celebrates the many faces of society. In battling his own mental health issues, Mark is keen to provide humour in all his work, and is passionate about painting the world with colour. In addition to books, Mark contributes to a number of satirical websites, is a feature writer for the national press and a bumbling tech biff trying to maintain a travel blog. Mark spends his spare time travelling, failing miserably to retain his six-pack and retrieving his hyperactive Jack Russell from rabbit burrows. Having grown up in Yorkshire, Mark now divides his time between the UK and anywhere cheap. www.marktimeauthor.com
