A coffee-guzzling journalist turned novelist and occasional poet, Mark has spent a good few years chasing the literary dream in one form or another.
Novels form the main focus of his literary life, with four completed titles under his belt so far, and several ideas for fresh titles bubbling away in his cortex, and these are busily pounding that long and lonely road towards publication.
Away from full-blown novels, Mark has written numerous short stories and at the turn of the century he added poems to his list of literary endeavours. Like so many fellow authors, his life’s work remains very much a ‘work in progress’.
On a more personal note, Mark was born and bred in Bradford, West Yorkshire, but currently lives in Stoke-on-Trent. He went to the University of Liverpool, where he gained his first degree in politics, before he then took himself off to London to train as a journalist at the City University. Since then he’s had several routine media jobs, but embellished these with some unusual, if not outright unreal, freelance and voluntary endeavours. He currently works in Manchester.
