HI Duke,
Thanks for putting something down here and thanks for visiting. It is a very lonely journey, writing. You made my day man. Did you sign into my email noticfication on my blog – then you will be notified of every mundane event I put into the blog. But I will not forget your support.
I’ve put ‘Eat the Dead Aside’ temporarily, sometimes it is necessary, and truth is I need that trip overseas to ‘feel’ the country and note accuracy re locactions. I certainly could use a guide. I’m not certain when, but it is this year. It would be great if we could travel together – You’d be a lot of help for me re input etcetera.
I have to be sure about my story line first. I think in a couple of weeks I will take it back out and see where I am wit it.
Presently working on another novel, ‘Haida Gwai’, while ‘Eat The Dead’ estates a little.
You take care, friend.
Mark
ps – Taking your travel suggestions seriously. You would offer me a lot re story.
Mark,
I looked over your blog for a little bit and you grabbed my attention and I have already signed up for the email notifications and I am looking forward to reading more.

Time will tell, and if God should grant me the gift of notoriety you can be sure it is those people who took the itm efor me in the dark days that I will remember. You take care and pleae stay in touch.

Keep it up Mark. I just wrote a little voice over for a promo video I’m making and one line says: Talent and desire mean nothing until you learn to BELIEVE. It’s really tough. I always thought I was a tough guy with thick skin until I started writing and sharing.
