Author Bio:
Mark Edward Hall was born in Maine and grew up there. He is the author of more than twenty books including the bestselling Blue Light Series. He successfully crosses many genre boundaries; mystery, thriller, suspense, romance, horror, science fiction and matters of the heart, drawing compelling characters whom readers are sad to leave behind when the book is finished. He lives in Maine and Florida with his wife Sheila.
Mark is also a musician. While in Maine, his band “The Maniacs” have a regular weekend gig at the Lobster Wharf in Boothbay Harbor.

"Hall is rapidly climbing the ladder to stake a claim as one of the dark fiction elite." ~Morpheus Tales
"Original! Captivating! Powerful! Look out world, Mark Edward Hall is re-writing the expectations of supernatural thrillers and he's here to stay." ~Book Monster
