Mark Paul Oleksiw
Born in the Montreal suburbs in the late 1960’s, Mark survived many a cold winter but, no dragons. Along the way, he graduated from McGill University, where he was co-editor of his faculty’s satirical and sometimes politically incorrect monthly magazine. Mark grew up a fan of guitar-driven music, great lyrics, and was grunge before grunge, at least in his mind.
The author of three teen and young adult novels, Mark hopes to inspire the next generation of outcasts and daydreamers to pursue their dreams and be the music the universe needs to hear.
