MARK MCKAY

According to the bio on his website: "I did a number of things before becoming a novelist – van driver, wine salesman, psychiatric orderly, Santa Claus at a major department store… I also spent many years working in the IT industry. After studying creative writing with the University of East Anglia in the UK, I wrote my first novel. Once bitten by the writing bug (for which there’s no cure), more novels followed."
