About the Author

Writer Mark Alexander Smith has written heart-warming tales of the foibles if human nature and how, at times, those shortcomings can lead to revelation and redemption of the soul. You will recognize yourself in Jaegan Yoder and you'll be rooting for his happy ending. Smith first taught at Cornwall College in Jamaica, then spent nearly ten years at an international school in Switzerland. Following that, he taught for twenty-eight years in Western Canada with teaching exchanges in Australia twice, the U.S.A., and Switzerland. After a year of retirement in Australia he became bored so he and his wife went to teach in Shanghai, South Korea, and finally in Beijing. They now live in Canada and spend their time fishing, playing tennis, reading, and of course, traveling. The Yoder Incident is his first novel.
