Mark E. Cooper lives in a small town in the south of England, where he writes most mornings and evenings. His background is in mechanical engineering where he spent over thirty years working for Ford. He loves reading and writing about strong female characters and can often be found listening to a book on his iPod, while he types like a madman.
His hobbies include Shelby Cobras--he built a V12 version of the classic car with with his best friend back in the early 90s. It still has pride of place in his garage. He reads science fiction and fantasy when he can, and likes urban fantasy too. He maintains a website and blog at http://www.markecooper.com and a fan page for the Merkiaari Wars series at http://www.impulsebooks.co.uk/facebook.html
He is now the author of more than ten titles in the genres he loves to read.
