Mark Smeltz

Mark Smeltz is an author of fiction and nonfiction whose work is inspired by a relentless fascination with the far-flung corners of the world and the mysteries that rest just beneath the surface. When he's not parked behind the keyboard, plugging away at another tale of terror and suspense, he can be found in the game reserves of Africa or the foothills of the Himalayas, exploring the intersection of nature and culture, which ultimately lies at the heart of everything he writes. He lives in Pittsburgh, PA, with his wife and a ragtag assortment of badly behaved cats and dogs.
