South African born Mark Fine is an award winning music executive who worked at Gallo in the day. Now based in Los Angeles and author of The Zebra Affaire, which tells the struggles of a mixed race couple under the oppressive 1970's apartheid regime. Mark believes a story worth telling should both inform and entertain the reader. A charming aspect of Mark's writing is how he looks to nature--Africa's animals and wildlife--for inspiration and a solution to human shortcomings. As such he is an advocate for wildlife conservation and the protection of elephant and rhino from poaching.
