Mark Gillespie is a published author and musician.

He is originally from Glasgow, Scotland but has since moved to Auckland, New Zealand, where he currently resides. He says that the difference is that it is a little sunnier and there are more earthquakes there.

He has worked as a musician for a decade, specifically from 2001 to 2011, in Ireland and the United Kingdom. He was the bass guitar player and had a great time. He collaborated with different musicians and bands, recording and touring. Mark says that it was a great way for someone to spend time while in their twenties and thirties, noting that he met great people and made friends for life that he loves dearly.

Another benefit of living this lifestyle was that Mark was able to meet his wife while on the road at a gig and that was also a wonderful thing. When Mark was in his early thirties, he decided to quit music for a time since he was burned out and didn’t know in which direction to go. He decided that it would be a good time in his life to return to university to study something, since he had not yet done that upon leaving school and wondered if he could do it.

Mark took an evening course in Glasgow at Strathclyde University. There he studied subjects such as psychology, sociology, and English. The turning point for the author was when he felt a passion that he had not felt since in music that had come back for something. This was during the English literature lessons as the students were reading short stories in December of 2010.

Come 2011, Mark made the decision to forever leave music and to instead get his degree in history and English literature and move into a new realm. He was writing short stories all the times, bad ones that included topics such as vampire puppies. The author himself admits that the writing that he was doing was not all that great but he kept up with it. He also self-published some not knowing what he was doing. Overall, though, he went into different writing competitions mostly because there were prizes that involved money.

Mark went through much rejection but after some time won a UK prize. He also began to make the shortlist some more for some different international contests. He tried and failed a lot but also kept working on his writing. He would get his degree and stuff it into the sock drawer, where it remains. He kept improving at writing and was diversifying what he wrote on, penning feature articles for websites and sports and fitness magazines as well as pop culture pieces.

One of the top highlights of this time was also having an interview with Shannon where she talked about many things including the legacy of her father, Bruce Lee. He also had a thrilling conversation with Emanuel Steward, a boxing trainer.

Mark relocated to Australia in July of 2015. In October, he went to Melbourne to be part of a publishing workshop for two days with Writers Victoria. He had been considering what publishing route he should take, traditional or independent. Ultimately his experiences over the course of a weekend convinced him to go the independent way because he found the traditional representatives disappointing. It was a difficult road with a high learning curve but Gillespie is ultimately satisfied with his decision and has penned a lot of fiction since, including dystopian and apocalyptic fiction.

Fab is the first book in the Fab Trilogy series by Mark Gillespie. This book was first released in 2015 for readers to enjoy. If you have been wanting to read something unique and a totally original story, give this one a try.

The year is 1980, the date is December 8th. Murphy Salmon, also going by the nickname Jagger, is a hippie who is getting older. He drinks on a part time basis and loves the Rolling Stones. He’s returning from the pub when he’s able to save John Lennon from the bullet of an assassin. He did so by accident, but it happened all the same.

To give thanks, Lennon offers Jagger a job working for him. The two men develop a friendship, but going into the eighties things continue to evolve and then become out of control. Lennon goes through a few setbacks in his career and tries to get back fans by going into politics. But John Lennon in the eighties is a different person from the left wing guy that he used to be. Jagger is horrified when John actually becomes huge in the American politic game and becomes a poster boy for the right-wing, even being considered for a Presidential run.

This book is a fun run through the greedy eighties, where the Cold War was in full swing and so was the fashion and the pop culture. Grab a copy for yourself and see what you think!

The Fifth Angel is the second book in the Fab series by Mark Gillespie. If you have been wanting to read something original or read the first book and loved it, check this story out!

John Lennon may be writing songs once more, but he is also the most wanted man in the world. The year is 1995, and no one knows where Lennon is. The former US Presidential candidate and Beatle has gone missing, nowhere to be found, after bringing the planet to near nuclear war.

Frank Vogel is an FBI agent, a man who back in ‘88 was able to let Lennon slip through his fingers. Now he’s a bounty hunter, and Vogel has been chasing after different Lennon sightings globally but not had any real results.

One day he gets a tip from around the Atlantic. The most wanted man in the world is apparently writing songs once more. Vogel goes to the UK, meeting The Angelicas. They’re The Angels, and this band’s rise to fame is thanks to the anonymous fifth angel, a songwriting collaborator.

Who is it? Could it be John Lennon? Can Vogel track him down or will he fail? Read this book to find out!
