Early on in his life Mark would write stories in his spare time, sort of like a
hobby, but he never had the intentions of becoming an author or a publisher.
Many of those stories were written longhand in five subject spiral notebooks and
stashed away in his closet. In fact, on several occasions while cleaning his
closet, Mark came close to throwing the stories in the garbage!
Eventually Mark typed the stories he had written and let people read them, and,
to his surprise, everyone loved it. The enthusiastic response to what he had
written was always the same. So after much encouragement to not let his talent
go unnoticed, Mark decided to self publish his work. The success of his self
publishing efforts proved to Mark that he indeed was gifted and could stand his
own against the best authors in the business. Writing has since become Mark's
passion, combined with finding new writing talent and helping to bring that
talent the masses.
