Review

From the author of Welcome to Monstrovia, Silver Medal Benjamin Franklin Book Awards, Bronze Medal Readers' Favorite Awards, 3rd Prize Florida Writers Association Royal Palm Literary Awards, comes a funny story with a surprise ending that makes this wonderfully illustrated book a family keepsake. Enjoy!

From the Author

What is the greatest gift we are given? Sometimes, in the hustle of the holiday season, we may forget, and that is what happens to Officer Zapper, a dedicated policeman, when he has to work on a snowy Christmas Eve. He never imagines that catching a unique speeder is going to give him a special gift that will bring back the true meaning of the holidays for him and hopefully everyone who enjoys this story so lovingly and humorously illustrated by the very talented, Daniel Traynor. I am excited to dedicate this story to the hard-working and brave men and woman of our police forces, and to my wife who brought Christmas joy into my life. I sincerely hope this gift book will bring your family joy and become a treasure for many years to come. Just writing it was a great gift for me and to see Dan's amazing illustrations bring it to life was fantastic.

THE DEVIL'S BOOKKEEPERS won:

1st Prize Historical Fiction -- Eric Hoffer Book Awards (Book 3)

It has been an amazing journey from a shy, bullied, child to my wonderful career teaching on Long Island (Elementary/Secondary Teacher of the Year --NY State Reading Association). I continue my love of teaching in my writing. The pen, now computer, is my 'magic wand.'

I was born in Germany after my parents were freed from Auschwitz and Buchenwald. Their nightmare inspired THE DEVIL'S BOOKKEEPERS, a suspenseful novel of love and survival in the Holocaust. Readers report it keeps them up at night rooting for the characters. I love the emotional reviews the books and audiobooks are getting. I am excited to be working with a producer on a screenplay. Keep your fingers crossed. The Holocaust is a shadow in my life and my newest book, MY FAMLY SECRET: THE HOLOCAUST (Bronze Medal Young Adult Fiction-Florida Authors and Publishers,) is a mystery where a young boy learns a terrible secret and faces his fears and prejudices. I hope it helps children learn not to hate.

My children's books are inspired by my students, Sherlock Holmes, and my role model, Perry Mason, with a touch of Poe. I add the 'insanity.' In WELCOME TO MONSTROVIA, under development for film, a troubled boy and half-human girl face incredible dangers in a secret sector of the USA where humans are rare. The series won the Benjamin Franklin Silver Medal and Readers Favorites Silver Medal, as well as the Gold Medal from the Florida Writers Association. The award-winning sequels, THE CASE OF THE DISASTROUS DRAGON, THE CASE OF THE CRAZY CHICKENSCRATCHES, and THE CASE OF THE KILLER KNIGHTS, have kids guessing the solutions as they learn about law. I love writing this funny series and am working on THE CASE OF THE CRUEL CYBERBULLIES.

In THE ROCKHOUND SCIENCE MYSTERIES, (LEARNING MAGAZINE Teachers' Choice Award), children solve fantasy cases with experiments like making ice pops. THE MIDNIGHT DIET CLUB (1st Prize YA Fiction-- Florida Writers Association) helps kids with bullying. My picture books, SANTA'S SPEEDING TICKET, ALICE IN BATSYLVANIA, A BITE BEFORE CHRISTMAS, DREIDEL DOG, and PASSOVER PUPPY COLORING BOOK, include activities that make them family treasures. Sadly, I can't draw, but the artist did a great job.

My favorite fan mail: A young boy wrote,"I love Rockhound. He is my favorite person." The only thing is, Rockhound is a DOG detective. He ended his letter with, "I know all authors are rich, can I swim in your pool?" I don't have a pool, but love sharing my world with him and you. After you enjoy my books, please let me know and add your review. I love hearing from friends.

Thank you,

Mark
