A retired career firefighter/EMT-paramedic/special rescue technician: From a young adolescent to a young adult, he pursued many different hobbies and adventures. He was frequently off to some adventure, spelunking, technical rock climbing, and backpacking. Canoeing and kayaking the white water rapids of many different classes. He was one for adventure over the usual social structures of those times. When he was not off on one of his pursuits of adventures, he was an avid reader of many of the authors from the science fiction genre. Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Arthur C. Clark, Philip K. Dick, Robert Heinlein, and Andre Norton, to name a few. He pursues an interest in amateur astronomy and astrophotography, leading him to build a small roll-off roof observatory in the backyard. He also still pursues an interest in many sciences related to the study and theory of astronomy. Mark is an avid study of world and military history. These interests are the majority of his reading interests and research. The many realities of life encountered and dealt with in his fire, rescue, and EMS career have helped to shape his appreciation for the sanctity of life and the frailty of it as well. He tries to apply some of these lessons in his writing and fictional worlds. “Never go to bed mad at the ones you love! Life's uncaring fate could strip them from you tomorrow. Let go of the petty things and try to leave a legacy behind you of life and good works. This is the only life you get on this Earth, so use it wisely. I've helped to bring life into this world and felt the humbling experience of seeing it leave abruptly.” (Mark Jordan, Author and retired career Fire, Rescue, and EMS professional)
