Mark Roessler

Mark Roessler has worked as a graphic designer, photographer, journalist, webmaster, managing editor, and museum exhibit designer. His passion is for 19th century history—in particular, the life and works of Frederick Law Olmsted and the events surrounding the Paris Commune. Previously, he has published three photography books: "A Panoramic Tour of the Northampton State Hospital", "The Marlboro College Years", and "World's End". A fourth book of photography is due out in spring 2022. 

"The Agent and the Aeronaut" is his first novel, and he is busy on its sequel set in the French penal colony of New Caledonia. He lives in a red bungalow in Western Massachusetts with his artist wife, giant son, and their tiny circus dog.
