I don’t know whether I said yes or not, but in what seemed an
instant, I was in some sort of house overlooking the ocean. I
guessed we were on the golden mile in Thomas’s home. It was
lavish, probably too nice. Everything looked expensive, from ...

Okay, now what the hell am I talking about? Well, if you want to start reading a great adventure series featuring interesting characters and plots that last for longer than 20,000 words, then how about giving The Pembroke Eve Chronicles a whirl?

Well, everyone seems to be doing it, so now I am. Here are the highlights of my writerly year, including a general idea of sales for those who may want to read about that sort of thing from a eBook author's POV.
After deciding to become a 'serious' writer in 2005, my debut novel, Call of the Hunted, was published on January the first of this year by eXtasy books. Before that I was basically honing my skills, sending stuff to FTL markets and discovering more and more that I loved writing m/m st... Continue reading ...

It's official, Shadows of the Mind will be my next release. At this stage it's looking like a February 15th release date. I will let you know when I get the cover from my publisher. I can't wait.
Shadows of the Mind is a full novel, my first to be published with eXtasy. All the other releases have either been novellas or short stories, so really this release has me the most excited. I can't wait to see reader/reviewer reaction. I think it's one of my strongest stories yet, with characters tha... Continue reading ...

After NaNo and my mad attempt to plant down 50 000 words in a month (although I have a feeling I'll run out of story before I do words--as happened to me last year) I will be working on the final edits for my fantasy series, The Lands of the Keeper. The first book being Unicorn's Peril. A story about a young man who discovers an injured unicorn. He rescues the beast and the consequences of such an actions set in motion events that will change not only his life, but the lives of all those arou... Continue reading ...

My best selling novel, The Pauper's Prize is now available at fictionwise, one of the largest eBooks sellers out there.
I would really like to thank each and every one of you who have helped support me and bought a copy of my book (or any of my other books) It's such a thrill to know that my books are being read and enjoyed by people who don't know me.
To purchase a copy of The Pauper's Prize from fictionwise for a great price, click right here.
My name is Mark Alders. I live in a house. This house has a street in front of it which is a good thing because if it didn't I wouldn't be able to drive down to the shop and purchase the chocolate I need on a daily basis *giggle*
Seriously, I am a mild mannered post office worker by day and an erotic romance writer (mainly male/male) at night. Not much else to say other than, like everyone else, I have bills to pay, a mortgage and family that I love and drive me crazy all at the same time. Oh, and I have a dog, too!
See?
Average Joe...except when I get down and write...then I let my imagination go to places I never knew existed and my characters invade my mind.
