Mark S Oliver spent many years as an Information Technology expert and educator. As such, he was able to adapt the creativity and problem-solving skills needed in the IT profession into writing novels and screenplays. He credits much of his inspiration for writing to the late Michael Crichton as well as James Paterson. Over the years, Mark has formulated a unique genre that combines contemporary psychological thrillers with complex romantic relationships threaded into a backdrop of intricate storylines. The Gifted series effectively demonstrates this concept. The series was also carefully crafted so it could be easily adapted into a budget savvy movie. Keep an eye out for future books, another new book series, and also movie titles.
