Mark Rigney

Mark Rigney is a writer and a stay-at-home father living and working in Evansville, Indiana. He has two sons, currently ages eight and twelve, respectively, and he is happily married to a wonderful woman with whom he shares the house, the boys, and far more meals than any married couple has a right to expect. Most writers learn to specialize, and thus we have journalists, novelists, short story writers, non-fiction writers, screenwriters, and playwrights. Mark apparently missed the class suggesting these helpful divisions, and so, rather alarmingly, he now embraces his own proclivity to work in whatever genre, style, or medium suggests itself. Let the idea dictate the form, that’s his motto, which means he isn’t very good at what the business world has come to call “branding.” Instead, Mark continues to try his hand at everything from meta-theatrical craziness to poetry, blogs, and epistolary rumination. Variety, then, is the hallmark of these pages. Don’t like a given story? Try another. Not keen on one particular script? Sample the next. They’re different, just like the inspirations from which they came.
