About Mark David Albertson
Mark David Albertson, Novelist, Speaker, Attorney
Born in the “Atomic City,” Los Alamos, New Mexico, once the secret site of the Manhattan project, Mark loved and spent most of his time in the outdoors. Mark joined the navy right after high school at the end of the Vietnam conflict and became a radioman on a destroyer escort. He left the navy with a dream of someday writing a novel incorporating the adventures of a young sailor, and in 2021 made that happen.
Mark spent over thirty years as an attorney and private investigator, both as a prosecuting attorney and in private practice.
Since his navy days, Mark was always a writer. During his time practicing law, he published books and law journal articles both nationally and internationally, but he always longed to write novels. Mark had left the navy with colorful memories of travel to many countries and of the challenges serving at the end of Vietnam and during the cold war.
In 2017, Mark left the practice of law to write his first novel, the acclaimed thriller, Steaming: A Sea Story. In 2021, he published the second book of his Sea story series entitled, Spying: A Sea Story, and the third novel in the series, Stalking: A Sea Story was on the shelves in 2022. His fourth novel, still featuring the protagonist from his first three books is Jemez, set in the scenic mountains of Northern New Mexico. Jemez was an Amazon Bestseller in its first week of publication, was selected as a finalist for the Literary Global Book Award in 2023, and was praised by New Mexico Magazine’s December, 2023 issue in an article entitled “page turners.” Popular celebrity newsmagazines Red Carpet, NetNews Ledger, Apzo Media, New Mexico Magazine and more have featured Mark’s work and life.
Mark is married to fellow writer KE Meuir and lives in Henderson, Nevada.
