About the Author
Mark MacMillan is a published author, award-winning newspaper editor and reporter, trade journal writer and communications specialist.
During his career he has conducted province-wide advertising campaigns in print, radio, newspaper, digital, online and electronic billboards as well as the production of a dozen TV commercials.
A full-time husband, father and grandfather, Mark is an avid angler, amateur chef, long-time Commissioner of a National Football League pool, home-grown hot sauce maker and avid book, art, comics and walking stick collector as well as a music lover and major league Toronto Blue Jays fan.
He and his wife operate Mark and Wendy’s B&B Without the Fee for family, and friends who are family, in picturesque Quinte West, Ontario.
His recently launched book, The Rankin Street Raiders, or Tom Sawyer times five, chronicles the exploits of young boys who created their own adventures and misadventures in a combined spirit of friendship and glee when times were simpler and the world was their pirating playground.
Mark’s first novel, Thrashing and Cavorting, is about salmon fishing in British Columbia and it is with a number of publishers, awaiting word.
