Born in Yorkshire in 1972, Mark Daniels has grown up with a passion for fiction and a desire to write. Raised in a family of entertainers and the nephew of magician Paul Daniels, Mark enjoys a creative (if slightly warped) sense of humour and imagination, but maintains a down-to-earth perspective on life: it sucks.
Currently working on his first full-lenth novel, Daniels has also co-created Justin The Jeep, a collection of short children's stories, and has written a factual book on the buying and selling of cars on eBay. Which, very originally, he sold on eBay.
Mark now lives near Newmarket, Suffolk (UK), with his wife Alison and their two young children, Malachy and Jacob, where he eeks out a meagre living by owning and running a traditional local village pub and writes occasionally for the website of The Publican magazine - you can find out more about the pub by visiting its website:
Mark once read the book On Writing, by Stephen King, where the world-famous author advised that anybody wanting to write should always write at least 1'000 words a day, even if it's total drivel, just to keep the mind active so, despite all his time being taken up with the demands of running a pub, a wife and two small children, Mark insists on bombarding his friends and family with wacky stories and his own skewed, pertinacious opinions on daily life through his blog, which you can find by clicking here:
