Welcome
Mark Chisnell writes the kind of stories that keep you turning the pages on holiday, and still thinking about them when you get back to work ...
The books include the Kindle chart-topping thrillers - The Defector, The Wrecking Crew and The Fulcrum Files - as well as award-winning works of non-fiction. He's a former professional sportsman and also works as a broadcaster and journalist, writing for some of the world’s leading magazines and newspapers, including Esquire and the Guardian.
Probably Mark's greatest achievement was hitch-hiking to Mt Everest base-camp in Tibet. In training shoes. Or maybe that was the stupidest.
Mark Chisnell's third novel - The Fulcrum Files - was published in early 2012, and quickly reached the number one spot on the Amazon.com Historical Mystery chart.
Chisnell has written two other highly acclaimed thrillers starring the psychotic modern scourge of the South China Sea – Janac. His first appearance was in the suspense thriller The Defector - a top download in the UK Kindle free eBook chart for over two weeks, subsequently charting in the Top 100 paid list. The Wrecking Crew is the sequel. Both books are regulars in the thriller charts and are available at all the major eBook retailers.
Powder Burn will be the fourth novel; an action adventure set in the Himalayas and slated for publication in early 2013.
'This is a remarkable thriller – chillingly violent, full of tension and with a very original ending,' said Publishing News about The Defector. And this is what the readers say - have a look at the Amazon review section for... The Fulcrum Files.
TALES FROM STORMY SEAS
Mark Chisnell's true stories of maritime adventure have won plaudits and prizes. The latest is the eBook 'short', Pressure Falling - a number one sailing book on Amazon.com.
While the illustrated hardback editions of Spanish Castle to White Night and Risk to Gain are still available from selected retailers, both are now also in the shops as text-only eBooks for all the major eReaders.
Spanish Castle to White Night, Winner - Sportel Monaco 2009 Award
Bernard Cornwell had this to say about Spanish Castle to White Night:
"I doubt I'll ever circle the globe in a racing boat, and I'm not sure I even want to, but Mark Chisnell has made the experience real. This is a marvellous book about a great adventure, and anyone fascinated by sailing should have it on their shelf."
