ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Mark Chamberlain is an award winning author. He was short listed for the Writers’ Digest International award for Best First Book: Lawrence of Arabia: Desert Wolf. In 1998 the Catholic media in Australasia gave him their Best Feature Award for that year. In total, he has written twelve books, and his work has featured on Radio New Zealand.
Mark’s writing presentations for teachers have featured in conferences both in Europe (ECIS) and the Middle East (TARA) and (NESA). He has presented as an author in international schools in the Middle East and schools in New Zealand (LNNZ) and Australia. He is available as a speaker and a presenter for schools (students and teachers) and writing groups.
He has worked as a truck driver, a fisherman, a dishwasher, a probation officer, a drain digger, a factory worker, a poker machine attendant, a scrub cutter, a drug and alcohol abuse counsellor and one night as a bouncer. Since marrying Eleanor and settling down, most of his jobs have been in teaching or journalism and other forms of writing. He lives hidden away in the Far North of New Zealand and divides his time between fishing, hunting, planting trees and spraying for gorse and kikuyu, with writing thrown in on the side, during the winter months.
