About the Author

Mark has made overcoming adversity an art form. The Royal Marines was his first metaphorical Goliath, but with fortitude and resilience as his sidekick, Mark battled through physical and mental disadvantage to become a commando by the age of 17. Camaraderie, adventure and integrity became his watchwords for the next 12 years before succumbing to the lure of adventure outside the military. The 'Bootneck Threesome' trilogy is his first book series and a departure from the current military literature available. Such a unique style reflects his current writing focus that zones in on the alternate face of society and subcultures. In addition to books, Mark writes features for the national press and for a number of satirical websites under the pen name 'Brian Flan'. Keen to provide humour in his writing, Mark is passionate about painting the world with colour. Mark spends his spare time travelling, failing miserably to retain his six pack, and retrieving his hyperactive Jack Russell from rabbit burrows.
