Hosted by the Northeast Georgia Writers Group and the Hall County Library in Gainesville.  A Writer's Journey  – Although Mark has been writing for most of his life, the road to book publication has been a long journey fraught with disappointments. It took more than thirty years to get his first book published. Today, eighteen books later, Mark been honored by the Spur Awards, the Will Rogers Medallion Awards, The Historical Novel Society, the New Mexico - Arizona Book Awards, the Peacemaker Awards, and in 2022, Mark was named a Georgia Author of the Year for his novel Song of the Horseman (Literary Fiction Finalist.) The main ingredient in this recipe has been perseverance in two areas: 1) the writing itself and 2) the submitting to be published. One of these efforts is pure joy. The other is a long, plodding journey on an over-used trail that has been trampled into mire. Mark's career as a naturalist and teacher of primitive skills makes itself known in each of his novels, making true the adage that suggests  write about what you know.  His research into Native Americans and the history of the American West has guided him toward projects about some of our most controversial Western personalities. His historical fiction novels are some of his most notable award-winners, and Mark can offer some advice for researching and writing in this genre.
