AUTHOR & WORLD BUILDER
Mark Rosendorf
AUTHOR BIO
By day, Mark Rosendorf is a high school guidance counselor in the New York City Department of Education’s Special Education district. He is also a former magician. Mark shares his knowledge of magic with his students as part of the school’s Performing Arts program. He uses stage magic to help teach teamwork and build confidence in his students.
But, at night, Mark takes off his glasses, throws on his cape, and becomes the author of the award-winning series, “The Witches of Vegas.
Mark is also credited with published novels in various genres including The Rasner Effect series. He eventually decided on an early retirement from writing. When asked why, Mark’s usual answer was because he lost his favorite pen.
Then, one night, at two a.m., a new and unique story shot into his brain like a lightning bolt, screaming for him to write it. Suddenly, despite the decision to never write again, Mark found himself spending several nights taking notes on the characters and their stories. That is how The Witches of Vegas was born and is now on these pages.
