About the Author

Mark Strecker has wanted to be a writer since he first learned to read. He also possesses a passion for history. He graduated from Bowling Green State University, Ohio, with a bachelor of arts degree in history in 1994, and a Masters of Library Science (MSLS) from Clarion University in 2008, earning the latter to give him the skills needed to write well-researched narrative history. His greatest passions are history (no surprise there) and writing followed closely by reading. He is also an avid comic book collector.
