Mark Lavorato was raised on the prairies but has spent most of his adult life abroad, living and working in various countries throughout Central and North America, the Caribbean, and Europe. He studied Environmental Science but has also worked as a climbing instructor, English teacher, as well as running wilderness expeditions for Outward Bound Canada. He began writing seriously at the age of 27, and has since published short stories and poetry in many literary magazines and anthologies. He is currently hard at work on his second novel, a Canadiana/Literary Fiction piece entitled Believing Cedric.

“A great piece of work. … An engaging mix of psychological insight and philosophical struggle, set against the backdrop of a tyrannical environmentalism that is, arguably, viable. It is a book of accessible thought, posing questions to the reader that soon find him or her striking up conversations at dinner tables and cafes.”
– Sean Blinkinsop, Harvard PhD, Author
