Who's Satan Inside?: An Extreme Horror Anthology

Mark’s writing covers a wide range, with fiction being his favorite to create. There are 25 titles in his interactive Try Not to Die series and many more in the works. He also has two nonfiction titles, both inspired by a reckless lifestyle, playing Ivy League football, and battering his brain as an unsuccessful MMA fighter and boxer. Unlocking the Cage is the largest sociological study of MMA fighters to date and TBI or CTE aims to spread awareness and hope to others that suffer with traumatic brain injury symptoms.

He lives in sunny California with my wife, two kids, five cats, and one demon. Derek pops in whenever he’s bored and makes special appearances on Mark’s social media.

You can also get three free ebooks by signing up to his newsletter. This letter is only for the brave, or at least those brave enough to deal with bad dad jokes, a crude sense of humor, and loads and loads of unhappy endings.

Derek and Mark would love to have you join them.
