In 2011, Mark turned his attention to writing after a 20-year career in the software industry. While homeschooling two kids and dabbling in a variety of contract and volunteer positions, Mark self-published two books: Goodnight Sunshine (2015) and 17 Weddings (2018).
These days, Mark is a 4th-year student at UBC (English major, Creative Writing minor) with a plan to pursue a master's degree. He is working on a variety of fiction, non-fiction, poetry and playwriting projects while completing the first draft of a Young Adult speculative fiction duology. Mark is also a member of the poetry editing team for PRISM international.
