I am Mark Niemann-Ross, a Portland, Oregon-based author, and my work spans science fiction to family memoirs. I’m known for my eclectic interests and analytical mind; I balance a professional background in R programming and Raspberry Pi tinkering with a narrative voice.
My writing portfolio is as varied as my hobbies. From the self-driving car murder mystery Stupid Machine and the tech-positive collection Humanity by Proxy to the juvenile western Patches Catches the Sargo County Cattle Rustler, I explore complex themes with clarity and heart. In my latest work, My Favorite Mother-In-Law, I apply this same curiosity to the realities of aging, assisted living, and memory care.
Beyond the keyboard, I’m an avid paddler of boats. Whether I am decoding the high-stakes rules of Nickel Bingo or navigating the complexities of family dynamics, I hope to capture life’s transitions with a unique blend of humor, tolerance, and technical insight.
