Mark Atkinson hails from the north country and lives in England’s finest county.

He was educated in the UK and Singapore and after graduation was head-hunted for a job in Borneo. He has spent the last few decades working overseas as an expat vagabond in the glamorous destinations afforded by the oil & gas industry that usually involves jungle, desert or ice but one day he hopes to do the decent thing and quit it all and become a full-time writer.

I do. I am currently working in Nantong shipyard in China and recently visited the Nanjing Massacre Museum - a very moving experience. I am working on the story structure at the moment. Let me know if you would like an advanced copy, once I have cobbled a draft together.

Thank you for your question.

I worked in South Korean Shipyards for over ten years and met my wife there. She used to tell after-dinner tales about her mother's experience growing up in Korea and people suggested I should make it into a book. It's very loosely based on a true story with a lot of poetic license added for dramatic effect. I had to learn to write first so I hope I did it justice and I am so pleased you enjoyed it.
