Citizen Zero: “It’s like Philip K Dick wrote The Matrix.”
Craig Hallam, author of Oshibana Complex

SO where does a journalist-turned-author go to sound off? Well, here’s a pretty good start.

This is where I hurl my missives out into the polluted meme-pool of human existence, hopefully to make a few ripples, if not an outright splash…

My name’s Mark Cantrell, a journalist and social commentator by trade, a novelist by inclination. I’m the author of Citizen Zero (2017) and Silas Morlock (2013), both published by Inspired Quill.

There’s more to my literary pursuits than novels, however, as you’ll soon see from this site. There’s short fiction, a little bit of poetry on occasion, some blogging, and a fair bit of journalism too. Don’t mind the polemics, it’s in my nature.

Stick around and enjoy the read. And please do consider adding my fiction to your shelves.

George Orwell

Quotes from Goodreads

“Poets and philosophers are the unacknowledged legislators of the world.”

Percy Bysshe Shelley

“If poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world, science fiction writers are its court jesters. We are Wise Fools who can leap, caper, utter prophecies, and scratch ourselves in public. We can play with Big Ideas because the garish motley of our pulp origins make us seem harmless.”

Bruce Sterling

“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.”

Oscar Wilde

“Genius is 1% talent and 99% hard work…”

Albert Einstein

“One glance at a book and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for 1,000 years. To read is to voyage through time.”

Carl Sagan
