Mark Loeffelholz was born in 1962 in Lincoln, Illinois, and spent his entire childhood in a setting of idyllic small-town Americana.
His interest in writing began at age eleven, when he read his first Ian Fleming novel,
"On Her Majesty's Secret Service," and to date no cure for his ailment has been found.
His literary heroes are Ian Fleming, Richard Matheson, Alistair MacLean, Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett and Mickey Spillane.
His latest project, "The Disappearance of Wiley Hood," is now available in Kindle, paperback and hardback editions. It's a psychological fantasy in the spirit of The Twilight Zone, which one reviewer has called 'Kafka on laughing gas!'
His first Oscar Jade Novel, "Blood & Ashes," a retro-style private detective mystery/action-thriller set in 1941 Miami Beach, Florida, was an Amazon best-seller in the 'Mystery & Detective/Hard-Boiled' category. "Storm Maker" is the second in the Oscar Jade series, with more to come.
He is a US Air Force veteran and currently resides on five acres of woodland outside Chestnut, Illinois - along with his long-suffering girlfriend, three dogs and several cats.

HE DISAPPEARANCE OF WILEY HOOD
What would you do if you discovered that you were disappearing?
Not physically, but a piece at a time: all tangible evidence that you exist as a person - beginning with your driver's license, bank accounts and your birth certificate...and soon you are a loose thread, being pulled from the fabric of reality.
This is what happens to Wiley Hood, a 25-year-old artist-turned business executive who still struggles with his older brother’s suicide. Creatively blocked for a year since Nick's death, Wiley is suddenly able to paint again—and then, his life begins to unravel and vanish around him. Besieged by visions and nightmares, Wiley is forced to consider the possibility that he has lost his mind...because that is less frightening than the notion that the phenomenon—or whatever awaits him at the end of it—is real.
Frequently hilarious and unsettling—and sometimes frightening—THE DISAPPEARANCE OF WILEY HOOD is a dizzying psychological fantasy in the spirit of The Twilight Zone.
