About this author

I was attacked by my first story in my early 30's, and it hasn't let me go yet. The more I write the bigger it gets. I am occasionally let out to write other stories, however. For anything like detail I'd suggest checking out my Bio on my website. I didn't write it, though.


nine2five Chapter 2, a chuck fanfic – FanFiction.Net.


A little bit naughty, a big bit silly. All in good fun. To be honest I’ve never really understood the need for explicit language in novels, some of the best scenes are presented in metaphor or some other form of analogy rather than directly. One of the best sex scenes in the movies hasn’t got a bit of sex in it, the famous ‘eating scene‘ from...

Cheryl Landmark Hi, Marc. I noticed that you have my book "Wind and Fire" on your to-read list. First of all, thank you very much for adding it!

I just wanted to let you know that the edition you have marked is no longer in print. If you go to my author profile, you'll see another version there with two hands holding fire on the cover. This is the most current edition. If you could change your edition to this one instead of the other one, that would be great. Thanks.

Cheryl Landmark Thanks for accepting my friend request, Marc. I've added "The Flame in the Bowl" to my TBR wish list.

It seems like everywhere I go, I can't turn around without getting some idea for some kind of story. Glad to know you.

Elise Crawford Hi Marc, just stopping by to get to know you and your work. I love your bio. I too was attacked by my first book and it didn't relent until I wrote it LOL. Now I have a second one chasing me, ha ha ha. I'm glad we are friends, Elise

Alan Baxter Hi Marc - good to know you here!


message 8: by Marc

Marc You're welcome. My first boss in this software company I'm at now was a philosophy type as well. He turned me on to Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I hope you'll take a look at my books. I wrote Unbinding the Stone while I was going to grad school, and a lot of the concepts we were discussing then made their way into the book, although I don't think I hit the reader over the head with them.

Elise Hi, thanks for friending me. :)


Saved By Grace Hi, Mark!


Andrea Kulman Hi & thank you for being a friend on Good Reads!


message 4: by Jakob

Jakob Temeraire series is excellent - I need to get caught up on the most current book. Thanks for the friend - a friend and I are actually working on our first book, so it is always fun meeting other fantasy writers.


Bradley A fellow fantasy writer! Woowoo! =) I hope you are having a good day! =)
