Mark spent his childhood drawing, playing football till dark, and reading Marvel superhero comics. He didn't make it as a footballer or superhero, so he became the next best thing: a writer and illustrator of children's books. Mark lives in Warwickshire with his wife and his two little superheroes, who happily play football till dark with their dad!
