Mark Wilson

Mark Wilson lives in Frankston, Victoria, with his wife Ros, two dogs called Kouta and Toby, and seven fish (at last count). He loved drawing from a very early age and also loved playing drums on his mum’s upturned pots and pans. He also loved comics, especially The Phantom. He went on to play drums (and try to sing like John Lennon) in rock bands, including Piranah and Centerfold. Finding a ‘real job’ led Mark into magazine illustration and he began writing his own books in 2004. Mark now visits schools talking about his books and doing writing and illustrating workshops
