“I want readers to care about the characters in my stories. Some you will root for, other you hope will have their fall. Readers should see a part of themselves, humankind in all its complexity, the noble, the vile, the precious and the tragic, all at once.”

Mark Mrozinski, Ed.D., started his career as a pianist, composer, and teacher. He spent thirty years as a dean and then vice president in higher education. Now he spends his time writing fiction, exploring Europe, and cooking classic French cuisine.

His short fiction has been published in Mystery Magazine and The Write Launch, and he was shortlisted for the 2021 Thomas Wolfe Fiction Prize and was awarded second place in the 2022 Tennessee Williams Short Fiction Contest.

Mark lives in the Chicago suburbs with his family.
