Mark Mills

Ever met someone who can juggle ADHD, write multiple novels, and take care of four dogs without breaking a sweat? Meet Mark Mills, the Texas native who turned his teenage obsession with "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" into a career writing epic sci-fi and fantasy. Imagine this: it's the early '80s, and young Mark is geeking out at a comic con, meeting his idols Roger Zelazny and Philip Jose Farmer. These legends didn't just sign his books—they gave him the push he needed to start writing his own stories. Fast forward to 2015, and Mark's quirky debut novel, "Waltz Across Texas with a Shoe and a Fart," hits the shelves. When he's not crafting new worlds, Mark is soaking up mid-life with his newfound love and their bustling menagerie of pets. Yes, one of those cats really does think it's in charge.
