The Rebel in the Writer

 By John Stevens 

   He’s a rebel, fiercely independent, considered to be too outspoken, and best of all every word he writes challengers us to look at the world in ways that are easier to ignore. Marcus Blake has been successful so far in his career as an Indie Writer and it seems that he's only getting better.

Marcus Blake Announces new book. A novella called "The Lonely Girl." It will be released on November 6, 2008.  The story of the lonely girl is about acceptance; accepting the things that we cannot control and learning to live beyond our own circumstances. We each have a choice- we can be a victim, filled with excuses or we can rise above the bad things that happen to us so we can live a happy life. The story is also about finding the strength to face the demons of our past for when we do that’s when we find the voice of salvation.  This is a true human story and everything in the story is based on real people and events.
