About Marcus

Marcus Paul Cootsona is the author of the Severin Force thrillers, INITIAL FORCE and SUFFICIENT FORCE (Coming in November 2024). He has also written two Wally Wilson thrillers (SLAMMIN’ and RUBBER MATCH), and two tennis instructional books (OCCAM’S RACQUET and TNNS LSSNS).

He is a lapsed playwright, recovering screenwriter, and former professional magician.

Unlike his fictional hero, Severin Force, Marcus has never been an Army Ranger, a Delta operator, or a Navy SEAL. Or a loner. Like Force, he is a patriot, and endeavors to always smell uniquely agreeable.

He lives in Northern California.
