Mark Howell is a forty-two-year-old Yorkshireman born and bred who resides in his hometown. He lives with his wife, Debi, whom he describes as the woman of his dreams, and his sixteen-year-old daughter, Courtney. Writing is his passion, and he has had a number of short stories and poems published by mainstream magazines. In January 2013, Mark cofounded his own independent e-publishing firm Sticky Books in partnership with Moira Jeacock. The Prank Trilogy is set to be their first release around late February, early March.
