About Mark Whitlock

Stories are the heartbeat of our lives. "Once upon a time" fires our imaginations, our brains retain stories better than mere facts, and we share our lives with each other by telling and retelling stories. Mark Whitlock has been a storyteller his entire life whether behind a radio DJ's mic, writing books, or Bible studies, or marketing a brand. A proud graduate of the Henry W. Grady School of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Georgia, Mark is the author of the overall top-25 Amazon bestseller, "Simply Romantic Nights," and five other books and resources: "Passport to Purity," Simply Romantic Secrets," "Jonah: A Very Veggie Family Adventure," "Wizards, Hobbits, and Harry Potter," and "50 Nights of Family Fun."
