Mark Smith

Biography

Mark Smith lives in a small town in the Midwest and has enjoyed the creative outlet of writing since a young age. Sir Nathan and the Quest for Queen Gobbledeegook was originally written as a silly romp through a land of adventure for the author's young nieces and nephews. Now it has been rewritten and edited for a general release, aimed at other children like the author's 10 year old son and for those young at heart.

The author's second book, Sir Nathan and the Troublesome Task, continues the adventure of the Hero of Mariskatania.

Smashwords book reviews by Mark Smith

Luke on Feb. 13, 2012

A fanciful story filled with colorful images, it reminds me of the stories of Greek mythology read as a child in that there always seems to be slightly more meaning to the words than I immediately grasp. A bright, vivid tale!
Tangi's Teardrops on May 09, 2012

As a 45 year old male, I'm a bit outside the target audience for this story, but I found it to be a sweet, enjoyable story. The writing is clean and descriptive and draws you in immediately. I'm not clever enough to make the Cinderella-connection that other readers saw (I'm just kind of a take-it-at-face-value reader ... you gotta hit me over the head with a board to get me to notice the subtle things) but I enjoyed the two halves of the book. First we meet Tangi and see the plight of her simple and somewhat poor life. And then to find her transported to the world of Rosevine where she's cured of a severe physical impairment and has grown in age and finds herself a princess ... it's quite a transition. As an author myself, I kept thinking how I'd like to see follow-up stories taking place in the colorful world of Rosevine. You won't be disappointed with this book.
