He writes in search of truths that defy simple, direct expression, and publishes to share his discoveries with others. He lives in Chicago with his wife, Nancy, and two cats, and is currently working on a few different projects, including a follow-up to "Upload" and a children's book featuring a fox named Cyril Frolix.Mark's debut novel, "Upload", is a winner of the ForeWord Reviews 2012 Book of the Year Award in Science Fiction.If you enjoyed "Upload" and are hoping for a sequel, send @markproxy a message on Twitter, and be sure to mention #uploadthenovel.
