If you are looking for a good, honest laugh, check out the writings of Mark Starlin. Mark is a prolific humorist who has been churning out stories, poems, and jokes and publishing them on Medium.com, Substack.com, and in collections available on Amazon.com.

Mark’s quirky, good-natured humor celebrates the joy of everyday living by turning ordinary events on their head. He wrote a series of stories based on stock photographs that reinterpreted the obvious meaning of the photos. For example, the story accompanying a photo of a man on a ladder picking a ripe orange from a tree was titled “The Man Who Re-Attached Fruit”. Another series featured vintage posters with accompanying stories about the images on the posters.

Mark has published a novel (Baron Britprop Blastfurnace), a short story (I Can’t Hear You), a short story collection (Somewhere in the Old West: Tales of Holister Bootstone), and a compilation of humorous stories of varying lengths from his Medium.com publication Mark Starlin Writes! (Humor). All are available on Amazon.com.
