edit data

Mark A. Daniel is a writer of the supernatural thriller genre including the recent release "Crossroads".

Taking the advice of his third-grade teacher to “pursue writing of some kind as a career,” he promptly wrote his first book From Six Feet to Two Inches. It was about 10 pages long. He never looked back.

He has since completed eight novels and two short story collections. Black Mass, Resurrection, The Gifted, Burial Grounds and The Threshold are available today, as are the short stories in Razor’s Edge 1 and Razor’s Edge 2.

Mark lives and writes on a small ranch in rural West Texas, accompanied by his wife of 30 years, a few dogs, several cats, and a varying number of chickens. ...more

Tim Wilbur answered Mark Daniel's question: Hello Tim - I'd love to learn more about my "story error" in Crossroads. I do pay for a professional edit, and have some really good (thorough) ARC readers, but none of them have caught the error and of course I would like to fix it. Thank you. How funny, Goodreads wouldn't let me submit this without a question mark, so here it is? I’m so sorry I didn’t see this until now! No one ever asks me anything, lol. Sorry again for blowing it out of proportion, but I hope you are well! Excellent book, in case I haven’t said so enough. 😎
