About Me

Hi, I'm Mark and I write humorous, feel-good stories about relatable characters facing surprises and complications as they try to change their lives.

 

My novels celebrate the things we care about most: life, love, family, friends, fresh starts and second chances – all of which have a habit of disrupting the best laid plans...

 

If that sounds like your kind of thing, you’re not alone. My story of new beginnings, ‘Olivia Holmes Has Inherited A Vineyard’, was an Amazon UK best seller.

 

I have 25 years' experience writing for radio and TV (successes span a BBC Radio 4 sitcom to three years as a regular writer for Channel 4’s ‘The Big Breakfast’). I've also penned 130+ short film scripts for clients such as the United Nations, the World Health Organization, Amnesty International, US AID, and the UK's National Health Service.

​

Away from my desk you’ll find me reading, walking, listening to music or attempting to be a gardener.

​

I also write children's books which are illustrated by my grown-up son, Mike.

​

My children’s TV credits include Shaun the Sheep, Chuggington, Thomas & Friends, Pinky & Perky, 3rd & Bird, and Basil Brush.

Thanks for stopping by,

Mark
