Mark is the fourth generation of his family to live in the valley. He attends Open Door Fellowship in Phoenix, Arizona, is widowed after being wed after being married for almost thirty-eight years, has three children, and ten grandchildren. He has published eight novels and one non-fiction book.

His idea of the perfect ending to any day is curling up in his comfy bed with a good book and reading until his eyes cross.
