Novel 

​

Abeka (one of the largest publishers of Christian school resources in the world) published Mark's novel, Trapped in a Hot Air Balloon, in June 2021. What's the book about? Glad you asked . . .

 

"When a hot air balloon ride goes terribly wrong, siblings Jenny and Cole find themselves soaring thousands of feet into the cold Colorado sky.

 

In the basket of the enormous balloon, they must overcome their differences and safely land the runaway hot air balloon. This unforgettable flight will captivate your imagination and inspire your heart.

 

Join Jenny and Cole on their trip of a lifetime as they learn to overcome fear, exercise faith, and extend forgiveness."

This involved working with with a programmer who developed an interactive App whereby users accessed the same quality content found in print resources, but with enhanced features.

​

Mark also used InDesign to convert print files into eBook formats that were then uploaded to online retail outlets including Apple and Amazon. These eBooks are still purchased by readers, and contributed to increased revenue for authors and the publisher.
