Born and raised on a farm near Brockville, Ontario, Mark Bierman's childhood consisted of chores, riding horses, snowmobile races across open fields, fishing trips to a local lake, and many other outdoor adventures. He was also an avid reader of both fiction and non.
Transitioning towards adulthood also meant moving from the farm and into large urban areas that introduced this country boy to life in the big cities.
After a short stint as a private investigator, he moved into the role of Correctional Officer, working at both Millhaven Institution and Kingston Penitentiary, until it closed.

That antique one made me laugh out loud–the number of times lately I’ve seen something at an antique market and went, “Hey, I used to have one of those!” (then promptly forgot all about it lol).
Hi, Mark. I’m trying to catch up after my week of absence. The sign about how you never miss the little things until they’re gone sure do apply to us here in Texas without the very basics we need for survival. But things are looking up!
Hi,
I especially like the last one, Hope shines through. It made me smile because it really does. Holding on to hope one keeps moving forward.

My first laptop computer (way back when) — the “E” key broke. Imagine trying to use the “insert symbol” stuff for every E… LOL.
