Mark Fryday is a novelist, script writer and poet. He was born in Sunderland in 1970 and grew up in the North East of England. He has always managed to maintain a love of both the English pub and the written word. ‘Collapse of the Wave’ is the natural result of such a love and became his first novel. An example of ‘Go with what you know’. Once the first book was done, reception was rather favourable, and Mark kept getting asked when the second one was coming out. Well, we did leave Dan in a bit of a situation, so it was best to let everyone know what he did next. ‘Another English Civil War’ is that story. Since then Mark has been writing and performing poetry and has co-written a musical. More books the way too, he promises.
