As a newly-signed writer for Modern History Press, Mark Elswick is writing to give back to the injury that came within an eyelash of claiming his life and independence. As a 19-year Traumatic Brain Injury survivor, Elswick's first title, Padman: A Dad's Guide to Buying . . . Those and Other Tales, will surprise you with it's "LOL funny" (Sherrryjane Cooke, examiner.com) collection of short stories. In the early stages since its release, the ebook has received nothing but high marks and praise for this everyday humor. While donating a portion of each sale to brain injury research, treatment, and/or patients, Elswick--called the "next Dave Barry" by one publisher--sprinkles in three serious stories showing just a touch of life's harshness. This "edutaining" (Readers Views) work is setting the stage for Traumatic Brain Injuries: Milestones in Recovery. His second work is expected sometime in March, 2012, National Traumatic Brain Injury Awareness Month.
If early reviews and critiques are any indication, Elswick will be on the writing scene for quite some time, sharing accurate, knowledgable, and well-written information with the world.
