Mark Leo Tapper was raised in Windsor, Connecticut. After a two-year stint in the Peace Corps in the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, he read law at Vermont Legal Aid and became an attorney, ultimately opening his own firm, where he toiled for twenty years. During that time he hatched several escape plans: music teacher, outdoor journalist, probate judge, fly fishing guide, and sommelier. He finally made it out of law by becoming a Registered Nurse. He happily continues to ply his trade in Vermont. Through all of his ill-fated career choices, he has written fiction.

He writes under the name M.L. Tapper for the K-Nurse Series.

They will be released on May 1, but if I can get author's copies before then, I would be delighted to get them to you. If there are other libraries that might want copies, please let me know. Thanks for writing.

Hey Buddy,

The paperback version will be available on May 1, along with several other books, and an audiobook of Vials. You can preorder the book if you want, or wait until the launch party. As the plague seems to be lifting, let's set that up soon.

Best,

A Repentant Contrarian

A dear friend used to say I was a contrarian. I prefer to think of myself as an iconoclast, but after reading my last few blog posts, I realize I’m starting to sound like Andy Rooney.
