About the Author

Mark Ristau's life took a sharp turn when he was downsized from a corporate job he had held for nearly 15 years. Instead of sending out his resume, however, he decided it was time to pursue his dream. Selling his house and virtually all his personal belongings, he packed the car and migrated to a town on Florida's gulf coast, the setting for the prologue to the first book in the Hero's Path series. Six years later, A Hero Dreams was published.

An avid reader and film buff, Mark is inspired by stories that dare to fill hearts with hope and minds with the idea that anything is possible. His favorite book is To Kill a Mockingbird and his favorite movie is The Shawshank Redemption. He credits his daily yoga practice with keeping his head clear and his life in balance when writing. Born in Chicago and raised in South Orange, New Jersey, he currently lives in St. Paul, Minnesota.
