Summaries
Host and Award Winning Author and Journalist GW Pomichter interviews Florida Mystery Author Mark Lyons during the ArtWorks Eau Gallie Art Festival for Authors for Authors in Melbourne Florida. Mark Lyons did not begin writing novels very early in his life, but since he began a few years ago, he has completed three, with a fourth well underway. So far all of his stories involve big crimes perpetrated in Florida. These stories of fiction contain much more than purely crime elements. All are seen through the eyes of Mike Lyman, a nurse, so all have medical factors that are key in the stories. For over 45 years Mark has worked as a nurse when wasn't working on his farm in Minnesota. He was the only man in his nursing school graduating class, and he always said he didn't even meet another man nurse for the first ten years of his practice. For seven years, he worked with AIDs patients, at a time when every diagnosis was a death sentence. He sees his role as being a patient advocate, always eager to take on any personal issue for the benefit of those unable to advocate successfully for themselves. His biggest heroes have always been those who work to the same end. To this day, Mark works in an assisted living facility. Away from his job, his approach is much the same. He loved his farm and he loved the outdoor life in Wisconsin and Minnesota, though Florida offers more year round outdoor availability. One difference he likes to point out, is that since he now swims in shark infested waters, he has given up skinny dipping.
