Mark Morganstern left a budding music career behind when he realized he didn't want to wind up in a mid-level boogie band somewhere in the hinterlands of America. He parlayed a long-term literary interest into an MA in Creative Writing from the City University of New York, subsequently subbing in a high school and booking music acts in his family cafe. When off duty, he writes, submits, files rejections, gets published. He believes in fiction.
