[edit] Work
Mark's first published work was a short story in the Big Finish Productions' collection Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Dead Men's Diaries (Big Finish, September 2000), which was the result of a chance meeting with producer Gary Russell whilst both were visiting BBC Manchester. Mark continued writing short stories for Big Finish's Short Trips range, and also for a variety of charity fanzines, before his first novel, Relative Dementias (BBC Books, 2003) was published as part of the BBC Books Past Doctor Adventures. This was widely well-received, and led to a further novel being published by the BBC, this time an Eighth Doctor Adventure called Halflife (BBC Books, 2004).
His most recent published novel was the Big Finish Bernice Summerfield novel The Tree of Life (Big Finish, 2005), his most recent published work being the story Let There Be Stars in the Bernice Summerfield anthology Collected Works (Big Finish, 2005); he also continues to edit Shout!, a position that he has held since 1995 when the paper was founded and has been commissioned to write a further Doctor Who novel for September 2007, Wetworld featuring the 10th Doctor and Martha.
