Introducing fabulous author, Mark Myers, the man who made Virgil Creech come alive.
About the Author:
As the father of four daughters, Mark Myers spends his days in a frilly pink world lined with ballet slippers and drama. Oddly enough, his favorite thing to write about is mischievous boys and the trouble they cause. He cut his teeth as a boy and little brother in Louisville, Kentucky but now resides in Georgia with his wife, daughters, two overweight retrievers and a manipulative cat with no name. In his spare time, he enjoys running, reading classic literature, and building furniture. Mark and his family have particular concern for Africa and orphan-related causes. He has been fortunate to travel to Africa and Haiti to use his building skills to help orphan-care ministries.
In his writing, he strives to weave moral truth and humor into a story that is relevant and engaging to children. One of the greatest compliments he’s ever received came from a woman who said: “Thank you for showing me what goes on inside a boy’s mind.” Not much goes on in there, you can be sure of that.
