I was born in New York City, read my first book at the age of three, and progressed quickly from the life lessons of LITTLE TOOT to the otherworldly epics of Brian Jacques, Terry Brooks and Stephen King, I soon began to pen short stories that, unsurprisingly, read like ‘D’ grade knockoffs of Brian Jacques, Terry Brooks and Stephen King. At least I aimed high.

Right as I’m about to die, I realize all the myths are fake. There’s no white light at the end of the tunnel. My life isn’t flashing before my eyes. All I can think about is how much I want to live.
I moved to New York City a month ago to become the best journalist the world had ever seen. To find the greatest stories never told. And now here I am–Henry Parker, twenty four years old and weary beyond rational thought, a bullet one trigger pull from ending my life.

“I felt the power of death over life…” –Johnny Cash
Justice is as fast as a bullet…
As I lie in bed with Amanda, ignoring another late-night call from my ex, a shot rings out in the New York night and a beautiful starlet dies outside the city’s most popular nightclub. This is the kind of story I was born to chase but I never dreamed this story began over a hundred years ago.…

Q: How long did it take you to write THE MARK?
A: Just about nine months in total. Six for the first draft, then another 3 to edit the book.
Q: How did you decide on the names for the characters?
A: This is a question I’m asked surprisingly often, since the answer is “I made them all up.” With one notable exception. Choosing Henry’s name was very deliberate. I wanted my protagonist, a younger man, to have a name not possessed by many young men to illustrate the tension between his generation and that of Jack
O’Donnell. I’ve never met anyone under the age of forty named Henry; it just felt like the perfect name.
