Mark Brumbaugh, a retired geophysicist turned avid astrophotographer, calls Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania home, where he lives with his wife and spends as much daylight as possible with his three energetic grandchildren. His storytelling journey began in his late twenties, purely for fun, but these days, he crafts tales for his grandchildren-and even helps them spin their own.Mark has a knack for words (perhaps too many of them). His wife is quick to quip, "Why say it in ten words when you can stretch it to a hundred?" Naturally, this talent-or habit-led him to tackle a full-length novel. The result? Over 150,000 words in no time.Now, Mark is on a mission to master the art of saying more with less-a challenge he's embraced with equal parts determination and humor. His first book is the product of this journey, and he hopes readers enjoy it as much as he enjoyed creating it. See less
