L'autore:
I'll break habit here and write in the first person, since you can read my "Mark McNease has been writing since childhood" bio in several other places. But it's true: I first put pen to paper telling stories about a large stuffed toy dog I had coming to life. I could not have been more than eight years old. By the time I was in junior high (now called 'middle school') I was pouring my soul out in poetry, heavily influenced by the suicide poets, Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton, and a handful of less death-obsessed but still confessional wordsmiths. Writing is the one thing I have done consistently all my life, whether it was being expressed in short fiction, long fiction, poetry, prose, plays, or children's television scripts. It is the one thing I have always felt compelled to do. After winning an Emmy in 2001 for Outstanding Children's Program in the Chicago/Milwaukee market, I realized I had been chasing validation for many years, and that now I had it I could let that go and return to writing fiction for love and occasional profit. And here we are. I launched a website for LGBT people over 50: lgbtSr.org. I edit that site, maintain it, and generally exhaust myself just keeping it up. It is my only other labor of love in the writing department, and one I see myself continuing for some time to come. All of my fiction-writing energy is now being poured into the Kyle Callahan Mysteries (KCallahanMysteries.com), and is proving to be a writing paradise I've looked for all my life, filled with people I made up and murders I'm able to commit without hurting anyone.
