Mark Andrew Ware writes LGBTQ+ atmospheric Gothic horror and psychological thrillers, the books he longed for but could never find while growing up gay in the 1980s Bible Belt. Seeking refuge from the dangers and discrimination of the era in the pages of used gothic horror paperbacks, he now crafts relatable, complex and deeply flawed protagonists he once longed for. Armed with a Master’s degree in Psychology and postgraduate training as a Behavior Analyst, he uses his clinical background to weave intricate, deeply fractured psyches into his plots. He lives in Denver, Colorado, with his partner and their two huskies, who happily demand all of his remaining free time.
