Mark Bell

My conception on a hot, muggy night in Alabama was predicated on my father’s forgetfulness and his lack of restraint. For that I am eternally grateful. Other than the nine months that followed that night, I accept full responsibility for my actions and output.
I am credited as a screenwriter and short story author but, in truth, I am no more than a teller of tales, a weaver of plot threads, and a practitioner of dry humor. My aspirations are to entertain, educate, and never ever become a bore. After reading my work I hope that you can say, “He passed muster.”

Other publications that contain my work are: Of Words and Water 2013 and Of Words and Water 2014. Both are charitable endeavors in support of Wateraid.

  Entertaining, well paced with strong narration. Each of these similar but different tales has the above in common as well as a decided female point of view. My favorite was Popping the Cherry - a funny look at the taboos hidden in any married couple’s bedroom. Howard’s prowess at comedic description shines. Always teetering at the edge of salaciousness but never falling into the abyss. A skill that requires an artful hand and a twist of the absurdity of everyday living. Well done Madame.

  Another fine effort by an international group of writers. Further proof that cooperation among diverse peoples can produce a worthy outcome. Educational as well as entertaining. The reader will be subjected to various viewpoints and cultural experiences that prove that we are after all human and we all carry the same good and bad baggage associated with the human condition. Cudos to all of the authors both new and repeats.
