Which Mark Stay Am I?
There are two authors named Mark Stay on Amazon and Goodreads. Which one am I?
TRANSCRIPT:
Hello folks, I’m Mark Stay… Or am I?
If you pop on to Amazon or Goodreads you’ll see that there are two authors with the name Mark Stay. It’s not much bothered me before, but the other day I noticed that the other Mark Stay had a one-star review for their latest novel, On the Leaden Shore, and I thought I’d have a look and I discovered that the poor guy had received a not great review because he wasn’t me… That hardly seems fair on the other Mark, so, to be clear, this is me: if there’s magic and witches and, occasionally robots and spaceships, it’s probably me.
This other Mark is from the suburban Midwest of the USA and in his bio says he comes from a large religious family and he does seem to write about supernatural stuff, but from a Christian perspective. Here are his books…
Me? Well, I’m from London and no fan of religion so I guess that makes me the Anti-Mark Stay.
So, once again (and this time, demonstrated via the medium of these socks that my daughter bought me a few Christmases ago): dragons and wizards and shit: me.
Christian stuff: that’s the other Mark.
Me… not me… Me… not me…
I hope that’s clear. Always read the author bio. And happy reading.
Perhaps you am Bizarro Stay Mark?
(The fact there was already a David Bishop indie publishing crime fiction was the reason I chose to become D. V. Bishop for my historical thrillers.)
Anti-Mark Stay 😂
