About the author

Mark BILL

Mark is a writer who has spent years building stories out of the small, human moments history tends to leave behind. His work has grown across genres — from quiet historical fiction to taut psychological suspense — always drawn to characters caught between loyalty and survival. He writes with a strong sense of place and a patient ear for the way ordinary people speak under pressure. The Attic Ear, his audio drama set in occupied Holland in 1944, grew directly out of that long practice: five days, one transmitter, and the question of who, when the knock finally comes at the door, can still be trusted. He is currently at work on his next story.
