Mark Fitzpatrick

Mark Fitzpatrick is a teacher, writer, and scholar, specialising in the Weird and the Wonderful. He has a PhD in Literature from the Université de Paris - Sorbonne Nouvelle, and is currently an invited lecturer in several Paris universities. He is working on setting up a small alternative educational project, The Hedge School. Originally from Cork, he spent twenty years in Paris, living in garrets and trying to get his novels published. When this proved to no avail, he began publishing his work online on his website The Hollow Behind the Hearthstone. Unreal City is his first published novel, but there are several others waiting in the wings. He has recently moved to Aquitaine, where he lives in an eerie old house in a village full of mysteries and secrets, with his wife, his two children, a Wicked Uncle, and two and a half cats.
