Mark Timmony was born in Sydney, Australia. Never much a sporty child, Mark had a keen interest in reading and was a an enthusiastic member of the book club at school. But he didn’t discover fantasy fiction (outside of children’s and YA books) until he found The Dragons of Autumn Twilight by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman in the school Library.

When Mark isn’t reading, or writing, he’s likely working at Australia’s local bookstore (or playing World of Warcraft).
