Welcome!
I’m J. Mark Bertrand and you’ve arrived at the online nerve center for my books and related projects. My first crime novel Back on Murder, which kicks off a series about Houston homicide detective Roland March, is in stores now. The second book in the series, Pattern of Wounds, releases in the summer of 2011.

I lived in Houston myself for fifteen years, earning my MFA in Creative Writing at the University of Houston. But after one hurricane too many my wife and I left for South Dakota. Click on the book covers for more information about each title.
