About Mark

Mark Ferland, based in St. Louis, Missouri, is an emerging writer with a passion for historical narratives, compelling characters, and the boundless possibilities of science fiction. Born to a Navy journalist and a Georgetown University student, Mark's early years were enriched by diverse environments, from the wild expanses of Alaska to the cultural tapestry of Germany. His well-traveled adulthood, a result of his service in the U.S. Navy, spans across breathtaking locales from Shanghai to Saudi Arabia, adding layers of authenticity and depth to his storytelling.

Educated in Liberal Arts and Creative Writing at LA Valley College and UCLA Extension, Mark also operates U.S. Equipment Brokers LLC, a testament to his business acumen. His understanding of the film industry, honed at the Hollywood Film Institute, enables him to craft cinematically engaging narratives that could effortlessly translate to the screen.

Mark's key historical project, "The Ballad of Franco Loco," sweeps through Camargue, France, the Bahamas, and the American Civil War. Alongside this, his interest in science fiction delves into the infinite realm of future possibilities and unknown worlds. Inspired by Quentin Tarantino's ethos of creating the movie you want to see, Mark's work mirrors his cinematic ardor and visionary narratives.

An adventurous spirit with a vibrant tapestry of experiences, Mark is eager to bring his unique perspective to the entertainment industry. His work, rooted in real-life experiences and enlivened with a dash of the fantastical, brings a fresh and fascinating perspective to both historical and science fiction storytelling.
