Born in Helsinki, Finland, Mark Everett Stone arrived in the U.S. at a young age and promptly dove into the world of the fantastic. Starting at age seven with The Iliad and The Odyssey, he went on to consume every scrap of Norse Mythology he could get his grubby little paws on. At age thirteen he graduated to Tolkien and Heinlein, building up a book collection that soon rivaled the local public library's. In college Mark majored in Journalism and minored in English. Mark is also the author of the From the Files of the BSI (Bureau of Supernatural Investigation) series. Mark lives in California with his amazingly patient wife, Brandie, and their two sons, Aeden and Gabriel.
