Mark Arnold is a science graduate with a background in professional writing, journalism, and communication. During the mid-80s, while a master's student at the world's top journalism school, the University of Missouri, he got attracted with what was then known as New Journalism. He began to use Wolf, Capote', and Thompson's approaches while still a student. He was named one of the top ten student scientific writers in the country, and his nonfiction has appeared in a number of publications. He decided to pursue a Ph.D. program.

Timothy Leary attended the same university. The University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa provided him with an opportunity to learn as much about research and communication effects as it did about the human condition. He abandoned teaching feature writing at colleges and universities after more than a decade to pursue fiction writing. Once a month, he gives critiques to the NightWriters writing group in San Luis Obispo.

He was acknowledged twice by Writers of the Future for novella length science fiction, which gave him the confidence to start this work. Monster, the early life narrative of Mary Shelley, represents five years of study, magazine feature story journalism, and fiction writing. He resides during the Central Coast of California, where he receives his best ideas on daily beach walks.
