Pro Marka A. Shawa, který vyrůstal v betonovém, městském prostředí Baltimoru v Marylandu, se pěstovala silnější vášeň pro to, čeho měl málo – divočinu a venkov. Toto prostředí v něm také podnítilo bujnou představivost a podmanivou kreativitu, a tak začal v raném věku vytvářet příběhy ve své mysli. Mark čerpá inspiraci z celoživotních dobrodružství, od svého dětství s kouzelnou klackem a dekou, které se staly jeho kouzelnými nástroji pro ovládání větru, až po svůj současný život ve Vancouveru B.C., kde se prochází nedalekými lesy a háji, podobnými těm, které jsou zobrazeny v jeho prvním románu. Jeho tvůrčí proces je hluboce zakořeněn v jeho osobních zážitcích a touze po spojení s přírodou, což čtenářům přináší jedinečný pohled na svět.

The Spiritual Transformation of Former Hitler Youth Leader
Written in the spirit of The Diary of Anne Frank and beginning where the bestseller Hitler's Willing Executioners leaves off, Stations along the Way is a true story chronicling the spiritual transformation of former Hitler Youth leader Ursula Martens. Consumed with guilt and shame over having been used by Adolf Hitler and Nazis during WWII, Ursula travels to America, where she experiences prejudice similar to that forced upon the Jews in Nazi Germany. Confused about what lies ahead, she suddenly discovers self-forgiveness in the most unlikely of places--through the love of three Holocaust survivors. One has romantic intentions; the other two accept her despite her past. As God becomes the essence of her life, Ursula turns full circle from worshipping the swastika to now worshipping the cross.
In 1953, Paramount was making a film with a new actress named Audrey Hepburn. Life magazine assigned one of its top young photographers, Mark Shaw, to shoot a feature, and he spent weeks with the star on and around the set. Shaw's extraordinary level of access resulted in an amazing array of photos and over 60 rolls of film that captured the budding ing�nue's charm and grace on set and in everyday life. The images chronicled Hepburn waking up at home, having her hair washed at the beauty parlor, reading, relaxing, studying the script, chatting with her costars and director Billy Wilder, and acting in one of her most famous roles. Through the handful of photographs published in Life for the Sabrina article have become iconic images of Hepburn, the majority of the negatives were misplaced and never published. Rediscovered 50 years later, these photographs offer a stunning visual biography of Hepburn's youth and rising star.
