About the Author

Mark Francis's first experience as a storyteller was as a young child trying to get out of trouble. Little did he know that 40 years later, this skill would come in handy again as he crafted bedtime stories for his newly adopted three-year-old daughter, and eventually lead him into his calling as a writer. When he's not crafting new tales, Francis works in the financial services industry, mapping clients' estate plans and finding ways to improve them with life insurance. He lives in rural McHenry County, Illinois with his wife and three children.
