ABOUT THE AUTHOR
LIKE CHUB, MARK MACIEJEWSKI was one of the “usual suspects” throughout his grade-school years. Mark’s hair, however, didn’t fall out until much later in life. In his spare time, he enjoys reading, gardening, watching movies, and napping. His love of comics and graphic novels is a major influence on his work. He lives in Seattle with his wife, four kids, two dogs, two frogs, six glow-in-the-dark fish, and a borrowed cat. I Am Fartacus is his first novel.
