About The Author
FOR
years Mark Cantrell has lounged around in the bars and cafés
of his native Bradford, searching for his elusive literary chic;
he never quite found it, so he had to make do with penning poems,
short stories and novels.
Some of these have made it into the meme-pool, courtesy of his own self-published chapbooks and various small press fiction and poetry magazines, such as The Asphalt Jungle, Sci-Fright, Alternaties, Decanto, and others. His work has also appeared in anthologies such as Spirit of Darkness (1998), Love, Sex, Death & Carrots (2000), and Sundoves, Bumblebees & Bluestreak Bananas (2002).
These days, he flits between Stoke-on-Trent, where he lives, and Manchester where he works as a journalist for trade magazines. He has also written for Writers’ News, chronicling the activities of his fellow Yorkshire scribes. In a similar vein, he edited the monthly Tyke Writer newsletter for three years. It gained something akin to cult following before he had to put it on long term hold.
Mark studied political theory at Liverpool University before training to be a journalist at the City University, London. Even then, he was hooked on the literary drug – so it took a while before he finally sauntered into an editorial office. Citizen Zero and Silas Morlock are his first (to be) published novels. It won’t be too long before he craves that next fix.
