Biography
I am an unemployed architect. My future, which suits me just fine, will be that of a substitute school teacher, advanced guitarist and instructor of guitar, Volvo restorer and conspiracy theorist. And novelist. Right now, my penchant seems to be short little novels, novellas I guess they are. This is making me quite prolific. I might be in error. Maybe harder work on longer novels is best. I would be delighted to have any feedback on my works. Most of all, please read "The Undergrad" also available at Smashwords.

Ten for Ten
by Mark Fitzgerald
Price: $9.99 USD. 127000 words. Published on September 23, 2011. Fiction.
So far I have written ten "works". They are widely varied in terms of subject matter. Nine are novels of varying lengths. One is just a collection of "funny" Facebook posts that I have made over the last year. My novels are just attempts to tell an interesting story. I am an architect with good typing skills. Maybe not a novelist at all. You decide. Don't take off points for spelling or grammer.

Lives are lost.

Ava
by Mark Fitzgerald
Price: Free! 14810 words. Published on September 10, 2011. Fiction.
Ava is a fictional love story built around the form and character of a woman who hitch-hiked a ride from me once. She was in my car five minutes, at the most. None of what happens in this story, really happened. I hope you enjoy it.

Hypnogogic
by Mark Fitzgerald
Price: $0.99 USD. 8140 words. Published on August 23, 2011. Fiction.
I get these dream-like visions/recollections just as I am falling asleep. They seem as real as real life. But they aren't. I hope. Especially the one where I am sure I have killed and buried someone in the past and I fear being discovered. It would be tolerable, these "hypnogogic hallucinations", I have had any waking recollections of my past. I don't. Just what my parent tell me. I am sixteen.

(3.00 from 1 review)
One man's efforts to raise awareness of the vileness and the vulnerability of the "right wing" in America, by "unspeakable" acts, leads to an outcome he could never have expected. A short novel ( $.99 worth for sure) about politics and passion and betrayal.

Smashwords book reviews by Mark Fitzgerald
- It Was Snowing
on Aug. 10, 2011
This is really touching. And very well written. Not that I am a judge of good writing. I am publishing too on Smashwords. I think my prose may try to go in this direction.
