Mark Arnold holds
degrees in science, professional writing, journalism and communication. While a
master’s student at the University of Missouri school of Journalism during the
mid 80s, he became fascinated by literary non-fiction and began to apply the techniques
of Wolfe, Capote’ and Thompson. He was selected as one of the top ten student
science writers in the nation and has published non-fiction in several
magazines.
He elected to study for
his Ph.D. at the same university Timothy Leary attended. The University of
Alabama in Tuscaloosa gave him a chance to learn as much about research and the
effects of communication as it taught him about the human condition.
After more than a
decade teaching feature writing at the college and university level, he left to
pursue writing fiction. He provides critiques once a month for a writing club,
NightWriters in San Luis Obispo. Writers of the Future recognized him, twice,
for novella length science fiction which gave him the confidence to begin his
new novel Monster, the story a
Mary Shelley’s early life (Mango
press. Due out by the end of this year.)
