Autorenporträt
Mark lives on the mid-north coast of New South Wales, Australia, with his partner Lisa. Having served in the Royal Australian Navy and as a holder of the Returned From Active Service badge, along with service in the public sector, rehabilitation and services, mature age student, restaurant owner, single father and salesman, Mark considered his background such that he could sit down and write a story, which he did with his first non-fiction tome, Inside Out: The Black Heart Of The Motor Trade, followed by Surviving Chronic Cretinism, published by Zeus Publications in 2006 and 2009. This is his third foray into the world of non-fiction with his, what could be described, as a prequel to an anthology, although it does stand on its own.
