More About the Author

Mark Christopher Bradley is an aspiring writer from Baltimore, Maryland, where he is currently studying as an English major in pursuit of a career as a writing teacher. Ever since he was young, Mark has had a vivid imagination, as well as a creative mind. Though he had no thoughts of becoming a writer at this time, it was in the cards for him already, as he was reading and writing at a grade level three years ahead of those his age. His introduction to literature were books such as The Hobbit, Alice in Wonderland, and King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.

It wasn't until high school, though, that Mark had delved in writing poetry. Having taken a Creative Writing class in his junior year, Mark's imagination was fueled with inspiration as began launching a barrage of poems from heart and soul, taken from the experiences of his life, as he how had an outlet to express himself that he was comfortable with. The next year of school, however, would prove to be more successful. He submitted several poems to the high school literary magazine, Impressions, and all of which (a total of 8) were unanimously accepted into the publication. That was the most that any student in one year had ever been featured in the magazine in its history. Mark was given an outstanding introduction before his performance at a poetry reading the magazine staff had put on as well.

In the beginning of 2002, Mark found his dream website, where we could post his writing online and receive reviews and comments about it while interacting with fellow authors. The site, known as Writing.com, further jump-started Mark's interest and enthusiasm.

Mark has published two books of poetry to date, his first being "A Parody of Myself" in January 2003 and "Writing Poems in the Rain" in May 2007. He is currently working on two novels as well and seeking publication of several of his short stories.
