Marcus
Marcus is a big kid in a man’s body.
A lover of reading books (as long as they are under 400 pages and not boring!) he started Big Kids Book Club as a Covid project turned podcasting passion.
He found books again after many years away from them when reading them to his son.
His favourite genres are Historical, Adventure and Science fiction.
When not working on the Book Club or the podcast, he’s usually playing games on the Nintendo Switch.
He’s currently writing Middle Grade adventures of his own set in galaxy’s not unlike our own, but with cool spaceships and cute space dragons!
