It was also the first time he learned about plagiarism, as many parts of the story came straight from "The Hobbit," which his mother had read to him many times. He's been writing short stories ever since. Though he has many different passions, such as sports and animals, reading and writing have always occupied his time. Watching and enjoying cliché-riddled action movies is another hobby. This is Mark's first novel, taking the saturated detective genre and injecting unique characters, action, humor, and themes into the familiar territory. Mark lives with his wife in a full house of dogs, snakes, and whoever else needs a place to call home for a while. When he's not writing, he's working with the youth at his church.view less
