Mark McCord

Mark McCord writes the kind of novels that stay with readers long after the last page—stories shaped by history, carried by unforgettable characters, and grounded in the emotional truths that define a life. A lifelong public servant who represented the United States around the world, McCord draws on his experiences in Africa, Europe, Asia and South America to craft narratives that feel both intimate and expansive. His work includes both historical and adventure fiction, as well as his memoir, Some Stops Along the Way.

He lives in Tennessee, where he continues to write both fiction and non-fiction that honors the past, confronts the present, and seeks the quiet grace within every human story.
