Welcome to Mark Prior’s Web Site and Blog

As a writer, I’m sharing previews of my upcoming short story anthology (to be published soon). My writings convey life lessons by telling a wide range of emotional, exciting and sometimes humorous stories.

As a speaker, my goal is to use story telling to share some of these lessons in a more impactful way.

Use my Contact Page or contact me directly at markprior123@gmail.com to check on my publishing and speaking schedule.
