Instructor Bio:
Mark David Pullen is the author of the middle grade series, The Oasis Chronicles. His debut novel, The Oasis King, is a genre bending novel combining action and adventure with science fiction and fantasy. Mark’s aim is to teach values of faith, resilience, and hope through his dynamic storytelling. Being the boy who sought after adventure and escape, he would use his imagination to create strange characters and unique far-away worlds. Some of those strange characters and faraway lands cemented themselves into his mind and later became part of the firm foundation for his writing style. He currently lives in Upstate New York with his wife, two children, and crazy pup, Toby. Mark is a proud member of the ACFW Organization. His second book will be released in the near future.
