• Review of MOSES THE SINGER

  

  Author Colleen Chesebro posted a great review of my latest novel. Here’s her first paragraph: “I’ve been a fan of Mark Sasse’s books for around six years, now. What makes his writing most memorable is how his characters often require lessons to learn and various problems to overcome before they reach redemption. Many of his […]

• Thank you, beta readers

  It’s done. Novel #9 sent to my editor. More than any other novel I’ve written, the writing of this one has made me understand the true purpose of beta readers. Writers have blind spots. Or possibly soft spots. Maybe I get a little to sentimental at times and think a few chapters can get by […]

But for some reason, I don’t like to write about places where I currently live. So two years after the fact, my first Malaysian-based novel is happening. It’s a curious […]

• Intersection of Meaning

  I snapped this in Georgetown, Penang a while back. I suppose I was just be nostalgic. But what a meeting of forces. Kapitan is on Pitt Street. Two of the best. One one street. Amazing. Okay, explanation needed. Pitt – as in William Pitt – as in Pittsburgh, the city near and dear to me, […]
