Mark Mackey, I live in Chicago, I’ve won two screenplay awards, have had four of my short stories published in four separate anthologies, Without Title, Christmas Lites, All the Lovely Creatures, and the Perfect Christmas Stuffing.What types of books do you like to read and write?
The type of books I enjoy writing are about scary, nightmarish things. Vampires, witches, extraterrestrial girls, ghosts, zombies, you’ve guessed it, I’ve probably written about it at one time or another. I’m constantly coming up with new ideas on a daily basis, penning them into college ruled notebooks. Even though the stories I write involve teenage characters, the content can get a bit dark and edgy at times, so I’d have to say they’re suitable for ages sixteen and up.Published works? Give us details! 
So far the titles of the books I’ve written and completed and released in paperback and Kindle, Genesis the Elizabeth Chronicles, Kristen Flemings in a Ghost story, The Comet an Alison Duncan Tale and other stories, and Kristen Flemings in the sad goodbye and other stories.
