I am an author, poet, humorist, and short story writer living in Long Beach, California. I write about various topics, from my early childhood in Philadelphia to my years as a family therapist and finally to my soul-searching in California. These are poetic narratives that may have humorous or serious content or both. Either way, I hope my poetry and stories resonate with you. My books include Magical Yogis, Uncommon Love Stories, Awkward Grace, Junkyard Souls, and Rain on Cabrillo.

    Wow, what a great story! The narrative tension was compelling, I thought I knew where it was taking me, and then the ending took me completely by surprise. Kudos!!!

    You built such a dark story only to lift it at the end like pulling a curtain aside to greet the morning – lovely to have found your writing

    What a viewpoint, but like everyone else, I appreciate how you put a bright spot to the day for young man. I so enjoy reading your stories, Mark. It’s a nice break to the day.
