Mark Anthony Taylor grew up in the unremarkable suburbs of Indianapolis, Indiana where he honed his skills of basketball, building forts in the woods, and eating macaroni and cheese.  He also wrote stories.  Terrible stories.  Mostly plagiarized.  Eventually he got better at writing and received a degree in English Literature from Calvin College where he finally learned to write decent dialogue.  Then he moved to Memphis and got married.  He watches too many movies—action, science fiction, drama, comedy—basically anything with a good story, good characters, or just plain entertains him.  Mark strives to write thought provoking, gut busting, chin scratching, nail biting stories—you know, the usual.
