ⓘ About Mark Henwick

Mark Henwick is a bestselling urban fantasy novelist that is best known for the “Science Fiction Among the Stars” and the “Bite Back” series of novels. The author was born in Africa and during his childhood could not make up his mind about what he wanted to be between a fighter pilot, Soldier, or cowboy. From very early on, he developed an interest in psychology and philosophy, even as he also became a voracious reader. His very early reading was dominated by thrillers, fantasy, and science fiction from Nebula and Hugo award winners from the 1960s and the 1970s. Some of his favorite authors of this time include the likes of Larsson, Heinlein, Tolkien, Herber, CJ Cherryh, and Zelazny among many others.
