Mark Tissington

Mark served in the Royal Air Force before pursuing a career in industry.

He had an ambition to write for many years, and after publication in a professional magazine, Mark decided to pen a novel, the first in ‘The Skipper Series’. Mark sailed the UK east coast for many years in a family cruising yacht, 'Roanna' and has a love of the sea and boats so a nautical theme was inevitable for this first novel.

An avid reader, Mark enjoys a wide range of genres and styles but in particular has a soft spot for J.R.R. Tolkien, Douglas Reeman, Denys Watkins-Pitchford (BB), Douglas Adams, Kenneth Grahame, Seamus Heaney, Terry Pratchett, Genevieve Cogman, Caimh McDonnell, and L.J. Ross.

He spent many happy years in North Yorkshire, and now lives in Leicestershire, UK, where he is at work on adding to 'The Skipper Series'.
