Mark Bertrand is the author of  The Dot, Starzel, Love Reincarnate, and A Consciousness Thing. A writer by day and a stock market trader by night, he received a bachelor of science in aeronautical engineering and his master of mathematics from Boston University. To balance his left brain with his right, his MBA is from the University of California at San Diego. Finally, to quench his desire for knowledge, his Ph. D. in philosophy was completed at the University of Southern California. 
Mark is a Colorado native and currently lives in the south of Spain. When he’s not writing, he loves to travel or spend time relaxing on the terrace of his apartment with a cigar and a glass of Ardbeg whiskey, watching sailboats on the Mediterranean Sea. 
Mark challenges conventional thinking in his writing and personal life, as sampled in two of his favorite sayings. “Liberation has no end; therefore, it could never begin.” and, “There are just two types of people: those who believe there are just two types of people, and those who know better.”
