As an award-winning author who has written 13 books on sports, Mark Stallard recently made the jump to the world of fiction with his debut novel, Rock ‘n Fire. A native Kansan, Stallard was born in Topeka—his father's nomadic blood keep the family on the move, and by the time he was seven, Stallard had lived in five different Kansas communities. His knowledge and love of the state served him well and the state is prominent throughout the book. After finishing high school in Ralston, Nebraska, he returned to the Sunflower State to study Education and English at the University of Kansas. Stallard also studied journalism at Wichita State University, winning the school's top Journalism Merit Award for magazine writing. Stallard eventually covered sports for the Wichita Eagle, as well as writing for other magazines. In 1993, he received a Master of Liberal Arts from Baker University. After writing and submitting proposals for several different book ideas, Stallard landed his first book deal almost by accident, and Kansas Royals Facts & Trivia was published—although just barely—in 1999. Since then, Stallard has written and published more 13 more books, including Kansas City Chiefs Encyclopedia (third edition, August, 2013), AFL to Arrowhead, Wildcats to Powercats, Tales from the Jayhawks Gridiron, Then Landry Said to Staubach...., and Otis Taylor: Football from My Own Heart. In 2007, Stallard received an Award of Recognition for Literary and Artistic Achievement from the Ohio Library Association. The fourth edition of Stallard's Tales from the Jayhawks Locker Room was published in 2017 and received many high-praise, 5-star reviews on Amazon: "Great book! If you're a Jayhawks fan, I guarantee you'll enjoy this. Very well written and an easy read... Highly recommended." Stallard is a full-time writer living in Kansas City with his family.
