About Mark

By the age of 16, Mark was writing and cataloging first drafts of what would become a lifelong endeavor. These attempts at his first, second, third and fourth book started when long time friend Phil Roessle introduced him to the illustrator, Kem Welch. Mark enjoys sharing ideas with Kem. This collaboration makes for steady progress and encourages Mark to write more. As a lifetime resident of Charleston, SC, Mark enjoys motorcycle rides through the Lowcountry. He plays bass guitar in an original band (The Fire Apes) and sings backup as well. He has relatives in Mississippi, Indiana, and Tennessee. Also, several first cousins live in Charleston and several more live in the upstate of South Carolina. His fourth book "As a Matter of Fact or Fiction" is now available for purchase. He has completed writing his fifth book, and is also putting five picture books together. Details to follow.
