Originally from the land of Shakespeare, I've been slogging away at writing for many years (on and off). It's been fun, hard work, but rewarding and has been a great discipline for someone who treats writing as a past-time rather than as a way to put food on the table. I've had a couple of successes, lots of failures and have finally learnt how to take feedback, whether positive or constructive, gracefully, and in the way it's given.

Musician, astronomer, aikidoka, cat-guardian, botanist. I have many loves, many facets. I do a bit of writing, too. Sometimes fiction, sometimes fanfiction, sometimes poetry. I hope you enjoy my work and find meaning in my words.

When I grew up, there weren't any heroes I could relate to while I tried futilely to hide the person I am happy to be today. I finally found my voice, the voice that says it all right to revel in the so-called inappropriate joys, laughs and loves that storm inside my head, and I can't wait to share them. It took a long time to find that courage and now that it's here, I plan to use it well.

Mark Arbour writes historical fiction about gay and bisexual characters painted on the canvas of the past.
