Mark Voss

Mark Voss is the sci-fi alter ego of Jon Smith—a multi-award-winning author, screenwriter, and musical theatre librettist.

Jon/Mark had a suspiciously pleasant childhood involving table-top roleplaying, sunny holidays, and an obsessive love of all things fantasy and science-fiction. One broken bone, no braces, and only one heartbreak (not his). It all went very well.

He’s since written over 50 books for children, teens, and adults as Jon Smith, and—just to keep booksellers on their toes—writes crime fiction as Adi Flynn.

He lives near Liverpool with his wife and two school-age kids. When he grows up, he wants to be a librarian. Or a space pirate. Possibly both.
