Mark Barry is the author of many works of fiction including the cult football hooligan novel, Ultra Violence, the seriously reviewed, dark and harrowing romance, Carla, and the feel-good thriller, Hollywood Shakedown.
He lives in Nottinghamshire and has one son, Matthew, who, so far, shows no sign of following in his father’s literary footsteps – though he does fanatically support Notts County (which is a much more important trait).
Mark is also the proprietor of Green Wizard Publishing, a company dedicated to publishing cutting-edge, innovative, and accessible fiction firmly based in reality. So far, the company has survived for two years in one of the most cutthroat industries on planet Earth – Independent fiction.
The company is there to show that there is a market outside the traditional Independent staples, (romance, erotica, fantasy, thrillers and self- help), and Mark’s work is difficult to pin down to a genre.
