Mark is admittedly a one-trick pony; his goal—always—is to fulfill the artist’s most important responsibility, which is to make their audience feel. He just happens to have done this on a consistent canvas of late, that being Christmas. His stories are certainly not about Christmas; they have far deeper, emotion-evoking themes with Christmas merely the relatable vehicle with which to deliver them to his readers.

Born and raised in Toronto, Canada, and the survivor of a deliriously happy childhood, Mark now divides his time between the big city (Toronto) and even bigger city (New York).
