Mark Barry
Nottinghamshire, U.K.
Mark Barry has been a writer since childhood.
Later, fifteen years passed writing bids (downloading a record £20m in funding) before the inevitable mid-life soul-search. Result? A switch in focus.
Surfing the new wave of Independent publishing, he used his undoubted talent to write several novels, including the acclaimed Carla, the quirky Hollywood Shakedown, and cult favourite Ultra Violence.
Mark has been interviewed on several radio chat shows where he has given readings of his work. His writing has been featured in the national press, and he has also been interviewed on television.
Mark lives in Southwell, likes music, horse-racing and collecting books. He fanatically follows Notts County FC and is the father of one son, Matt. He is the owner of Green Wizard Publishing, and interviews authors on his interview blog, the Wizard's Cauldron.
