Born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta, Mark is no stranger to the “weirdness” of the city. Currently he works as a freelance communications writer and has written countless articles for various Albertan publications. He has previously published two other books about Alberta cities and was the contributing author on another nonfiction book. When he isn’t writing, Mark teaches workshops, paints, meditates and creates music. Imagination and creativity have always been important to him, which he says makes him a strange, big kid...it’s his super power.
