As a Navy brat, Marcus has often found himself between places, so it’s not surprising that his characters find themselves in the same position. He grew up imagining fantastic worlds and loves telling stories about them. After graduating from Illinois State University, he became a mercenary teacher, jumping from classroom to classroom.
