A full-time writer since 1981, Mark Zuehlke has emerged in recent years as one of Canada’s leading new writers of military history. A prolific writer, he is the author of more than fifteen books and before turning his attention primarily to book writing in 1992 had published several hundred articles in leading Canadian magazines. In 2000 he published his first novel, Hands Like Clouds, the first in a mystery series featuring reluctant coroner Elias McCann and his investigations in the small windswept village of Tofino on Vancouver Island’s west coast. Mark lives in Victoria, B.C.
