Mark Fowler

I was born in 1961 and will retire from the Navy as an OB/GYN with 26 years service in 2009. I have only been published in small college works - and THOSE pieces were (are, although I'd slit my wrist rather than revisit them) wretched.

I'm been polishing my gems for a few years and haven't felt like I've sniffed publication, although I keep feeling I'm closer and closer. The "unofficial" list of 77 semi-finalists at ABNA has my "The Called Ones" on it.

I'm hopeful, but realistic.
