Mark Edward Edens

Tennessee native Mark Edward Edens always wanted to be a novelist, but purely by chance got started writing TV animation. He stopped counting how many animation episodes he'd written scripts or outlines for when the number reached 100, for dozens of shows ranging from hits like The X-Men and The Real Ghostbusters to less-seen series like Exosquad, The Spiral Zone, and Little Shop. He's also written scripts for several live-action series, including Young Hercules, as well as TV movies for CBS and the Disney Channel. He published his first novel, Death Be Not Pwned in 2016. He has also contributed to the podcast, The 42cast, providing an interview in 2017 and being part of a panel discussion about using real science and history in fiction in 2020.
