Episode 155-Mark Stevens

The son of two librarians, Mark Stevens was raised in Massachusetts. After graduating from Principia College in Illinois, he worked as a reporter for The Christian Science Monitor in Boston and Los Angeles and The Rocky Mountain News in Denver. For six years, Mark produced television news for The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour and then returned to print, writing for The Denver Post. Those five years of reporting led to a position as Director of Communications with Denver Public Schools, where he worked for 11 years and then with the Greeley school district (one year) and the state department of education (four years) as director of communications. He now runs his own public relations and strategic communications business. Stevens has published three Colorado-based mysteries, Antler Dust (2007), Buried by the Roan (2011), a Colorado Book Awards Finalist, and Trapline (2014).
