Marcus was born in Brisbane, Australia in 1986 and lived in the south-east coast of New South Wales for most of his young life.
He published his first short story, “A Spark of Youth”, in Deadset Press’s Beginnings anthology in 2018. Since then, he has published stories in eight anthologies and participated with seven other authors in Deadset’s shared-world post-apocalyptic series, Drowned Earth, which included his novella Tides of War. He released his latest book, Bright Skies, Long Shadows, in 2023.
Marcus has a B Arts in Professional Writing and Publishing with Curtin University. By day, he works as a manager at a well-known bookstore.
Besides horror, Marcus is an avid gamer (both video and tabletop) and loves painting, learning languages, and playing guitar. He may be a little too obsessed with Cthulhu, Silent Hill, conspiracies and the occult, and the inevitable heat death of the universe.
He currently lives in Melbourne, Australia, with his two children.
