Mark Beyer (born September 8, 1963) is an American novelist, journalist and educator. He is originally from Franklin Park, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago.[1][2] He is noted for his novel The Village Wit, a story of "deception, betrayal, and dark passion."[3]
Beyer got his start as an author by writing children's and Young Adult books for the Rosen Publishing Group, including two acclaimed[by whom?] biographies of World War II figures, Heinrich Müller: Gestapo Chief, and Emmanuel Ringelblum: Historian of the Warsaw Ghetto.[3] The books were described by the Association of Jewish Libraries as "... works of distinction. Worthwhile additions to Holocaust biographies."[4] He has previously taught literature and fiction writing at Columbia College Chicago, worked as an editor in New York City, and then became a news features writer in New Port Richey, Florida. Beyer currently lives in Europe, where he writes and teaches English as a foreign language to business professionals.[2][5]
The Village Wit was published in 2010 by Siren & Muse Publishing.[1][6]
